Tim Tams Treat Enjoy these chocolate-malted biscuits filled with cream and coated in chocolate like the locals do—by biting off diagonal corners and sipping coffee through the cookie.

Look Out Remember, Australians drive on the opposite side of the road. Luckily, Sydney is prepared for confused tourists; look to the ground where you’ll find “look this way” with an arrow painted on the street.

Way Around The best way to familiarize yourself with Sydney is by bus tour—Australian Pacific Tours offers daily half- and full-day escorted coach excursions. Stops include major sites like the Sydney Opera House and Bondi Beach.
