Try [emailing the accommodation team](mailto:accommodation.info@sydney.edu.au), or emailing specific colleges directly, e.g., from [this list](https://sydney.edu.au/campus-life/accommodation/live-on-campus/camperdown-darlington/residential-colleges.html) of current Sydney University colleges.

Get a good spot on an outer deck and enjoy the ride over. From the terminal, walk towards Manly beach, grabbing fish and chips and eating on the beach. Have a swim, a couple beers at a beachside brewery, then ferry back for a drink at Circular Quay: Opera Bar for the views of the harbor, or a cocktail at Bulletin Place for cosy vibes. While around Circular Quay, you can also slot in some time at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Circular Quay, which for the cost of a coffee on the top floor, you can get some of the best elevated views of the harbor. If you're near Wynyard, I always enjoy a whiskey and apple at Uncle Ming's :) #### Classic walks The classic harborside walks are those between Bondi, Bronte, and Coogee beaches. This coastal walk is one of the top things to do in Sydney. It’s really easy and well maintained but also really unique and beautiful. The following are a bit more adventurous (but all public transport-able!): * [Spit Bridge to Manly in Sydney Harbour national park](http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/nationalparks/parkwalking.aspx?id=n0039) (called Manly scenic walkway on the website) * [Jerusalem bay to Brooklyn track](http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/nationalparks/parkWalking.aspx?id=N0019) in Ku-ring-gai * [The coast track](http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/nationalparks/parkWalking.aspx?id=N0030) in Royal National Park --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://time-series-features.gitbook.io/research-resources/advice/sydney.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
