Welcome to Sydney! 🌟  Explore your new home with our fun sightseeing tours at USU Day Trips! They're the perfect chance to learn more about the city and make new friends along the way.  All USU Day Trips are happening at the same time on Saturday, 2 August, so please only register for one of the following:  🐨 Taronga Zoo   Get up close and personal with Australia’s unique wildlife at Taronga Zoo. Meet koalas, kangaroos, and echidnas while enjoying stunning views of Sydney Harbour. Taronga Zoo is the ultimate blend of adventure and education, offering the chance to learn about conservation efforts and see animals from around the world.  A hired bus will transport you to the location and back to Uni.  🧺 The Rocks Markets & Picnic   Every Saturday, Aussies head to this market to enjoy delicious food and browse unique, locally made items. You’ll have time to explore the market with friends, grab something tasty, and then meet us afterwards for a relaxed picnic with iconic views. We’ll have games and entertainment ready, so you can chill out, soak in the Sydney atmosphere, and meet even more people along the way.  A hired bus will transport you to the location; however, we kindly ask that you arrange your own return journey.  🐟 Sea Life Sydney Aquarium   Dive into an underwater world right in the heart of the city! Sea Life Sydney Aquarium is home to thousands of marine creatures, including sharks, rays, and penguins. Walk through stunning underwater tunnels, learn about Australia’s diverse marine life, and experience the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef without leaving Sydney.  A hired bus will transport you to the location; however, we kindly ask that you arrange your own return journey.  🖼️ Madame Tussauds Sydney   Rub shoulders with your favourite celebrities, sports stars, and world leaders at Madame Tussauds Sydney! Strike a pose with lifelike wax figures, from Aussie icons like Chris Hemsworth to international superstars. It’s the perfect spot for fun photos and a light-hearted day out with friends.  A hired bus will transport you to the location; however, we kindly ask that you arrange your own return journey.  Please note that for all locations, you’ll need to meet at the International Student Lounge (ISL) to start. We won’t be accepting anyone joining directly at the venue.  This event is for USU Members only! USU Membership is free for all USYD students. Click here to join now!
