Choose a Sydney region around one main purpose and a workable outward and return journey.
Give one area enough time
Choose the activity you most want to keep: a harbour walk, beach time, an indoor visit or a neighbourhood meal. Check travel to that exact starting point before adding another region. A map can make two places look close while their useful public-transport connections follow a different route.
For a half day, one main stop and a nearby optional stop are often easier to adjust than several distant commitments. Keep the return journey and a weather alternative in the same plan. For choosing a home, use the neighbourhood guides and your actual work or study address instead of treating a pleasant day trip as evidence of a good daily commute.
