After your hotel pickup we head through Sydney's leafy north shore to the Australian Reptile and Wildlife Park, where you can not only see some of the most venomous snakes in the world (we are home to the 10 most dangerous!), but also get up close and personal with warm and fuzzy koalas, kangaroos and wombats and then you can see some of the world's most poisonous spiders being milked for their venom!
   After morning tea we head down to the Hawkesbury River, the setting for "Oyster Farmer", this year's most successful Australian movie. See where it was filmed and where the inspiration for the film came from as we cruise the spectacular waters of the Hawkesbury. We stop at a secluded spot for a delicious lunch of barbecued Australian fish, enjoying the tranquillity of this magical domain.
   Maybe you'd like the ultimate indulgence - to be massaged as we float down the river with the Hawkesbury's stunning scenery gliding by? (optional extra)
   After lunch the fabled Northern Beaches of Sydney await us - also known as Millionaires' Playground - and see if you can bump into a celebrity (Billy Connolly LOVES the place!) then we'll stop for a stroll along Sydney's famous Manly beach on the way back to town.
   Returning to your hotel we'll pause underneath the Harbour Bridge for one of Sydney's best views, across to the city and the Opera House - the photo you'll want to frame when you get home!
