Did you know that this site was originally named Bennelong Point after Woollarawarre Bennelong, a senior Eora man at the time of the arrival of British colonizers in Australia in 1788? The Sydney Opera House was designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, whose design won the international design competition held in 1956. It took 14 years and 10,000 construction workers to build this beautiful structure, which was originally estimated to cost $7 million but ended up costing $102 million, largely paid for by a State Lottery. The Sydney Opera House is covered by more than 1 million roof tiles, made in Sweden, and has a surface area of approximately 1.62 hectares. It was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 20th October, 1973, and has since been added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2007. \n\nThe Concert Hall inside the Opera House is home to the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and did you know that when the orchestra is on stage, the temperature must be precisely 22.5 degrees Celsius to ensure the instruments stay in tune? Temperature and humidity are critical to musical instruments. The Opera House has a fascinating history, with many interesting stories. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger won his final Mr Olympia bodybuilding title in 1980 in the Concert Hall. \n\nAnd did you know that a net was installed above the orchestra pit in the Joan Sutherland Theatre following an incident during the opera Boris Godunov when a live chicken landed on top of a cellist? More than 10.9 million people visit the Opera House every year, making it one of the most popular tourist attractions in Australia. It is cooled using seawater taken directly from the harbour, with the system circulating cold water through 35 kilometres of pipes to power both the heating and air conditioning in the building. \n\nEvery year, Lunar New Year is celebrated at the Opera House, with sails lit in red, Lunar Lanterns, and Mandarin tours. In 2019, some 25,000 people celebrated with us. So, let's explore this magnificent structure, and enjoy the stories behind its history and design.\n\n"},{"type":"text","content":"# Design Proposals"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FOHAVMGcr3C67JTmsFfdV%2Fopera%206.jpeg?alt=media&token=cbb7d58c-e06d-478a-9ff5-92cd96ef9998"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FOHAVMGcr3C67JTmsFfdV%2Fopera%207.jpeg?alt=media&token=dee8f414-c28f-485d-a21c-75fe2b6ba586"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FOHAVMGcr3C67JTmsFfdV%2Fopera%208.jpeg?alt=media&token=34073ccf-ab7a-4561-8311-64512344ccbe"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FOHAVMGcr3C67JTmsFfdV%2Fopera%209.jpeg?alt=media&token=01666de2-424b-4876-a48f-524d87afb812"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FOHAVMGcr3C67JTmsFfdV%2Fopera%2010.jpeg?alt=media&token=7aeaf4b2-a287-49c7-80ef-67363e6fcabb"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FOHAVMGcr3C67JTmsFfdV%2Fopera%2011.jpeg?alt=media&token=bc31e596-2621-4ec1-9c5d-82b2f1034894"}]},{"address":"Australian Rockery Lawn","placeId":null,"location":{"longitudeDelta":0.12231848505090098,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":-33.85937071065477,"longitude":151.2161821},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Australian Rockery Lawn/Royal Botanic Gardens🌿🌸"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FOHAVMGcr3C67JTmsFfdV%2Froyal%20botanic%202.jpeg?alt=media&token=510d2c26-5a4a-42f1-b7d4-f5876bf8f3cb"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FOHAVMGcr3C67JTmsFfdV%2Froyal%20botanic%201.jpeg?alt=media&token=6f64af0b-d515-4700-a020-5c12291e4ad8"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FOHAVMGcr3C67JTmsFfdV%2Froyal%20botanic.%20.jpeg?alt=media&token=7cf2044b-6b21-4f16-badd-779ed5866ffe"},{"type":"text","content":"As we make our way towards Australian Rockery Lawn, let me share with you a trivia nugget. Did you know in the early planning stages, the Australian Rockery Lawn was actually purposed to be a concrete parking lot? Thanks to a resolute advocate for city green spaces, city officials were swayed to create an urban sanctuary instead.\n\nThe Rockery has not merely a recreational expanse, but a green platform for urbanites to connect with nature. As you stroll down the path, I urge you to pause a moment. Close your eyes. Listen to the faint rustle of leaves in the wind, feel the warmth of the sun seeping through the canopy above and the coolness of the rocks beneath your hands. Can you believe that we are standing in the heart of a bustling city?\n\nLook at the rocks around you. Do they appear just a tad out of place amidst this landscape? That's because they've been intentionally placed to represent Australia's unique geography, acting as an allegorical landscape fuelling our imagination.\n\nAnd for your challenge of today's tour: Can anyone spot the elusive water dragon that calls the rockery its home? They blend amazingly well into the foliage, but a vigilant eye can catch their reptilian sneakiness!\n\nAs we explore further, I want you to investigate the variety of native plants interspersed within the landscape. These proudly display Australia's unique natural heritage while existing as a site for city dwellers to connect with the vibrant greenery that defines our continent.\n\nOnce you've absorbed the heartening sights and wild smells of this urban oasis, let me know, and we'll move on to our next intriguing stop. The essence of this tour lies in these isolated moments of tranquility amidst the prestigious vibrancy – a moving testament to Sydney's love affair with its vibrant and dynamic nature-endowed heritage.\n\nRemember, no online travel brochure can make you feel the city's pulse like we are right now.

Did you know that this captivating spot is Australia’s oldest public parkland? Established in 1810, it’s had a tumultuous history, hosting sports, artillery, protests, and more before blossoming into the tranquil oasis that greets us today. Walking amidst these grand arching trees, you're indeed stepping on layers of history.\n\nAnd see that magnificent structure standing tall? That’s the ANZAC War Memorial, a symbol of remembrance. As we inch closer, you can observe the striking bronze statues. Can you guess what each one signifies? A little challenge for you all. No peeking it up on the internet, please. Let's test our observation skills here.\n\nNow, I encourage all of you to take a moment to sit beneath one of these sprawling fig trees. Look up, observe the intricate patterns the leaves make against the sky. It's not just a park; it's a living piece of art. Something you won't find in travel brochures, isn't it?\n\nPerhaps you may even spot the Hyde Park Barracks from here, one of 11 Australian convict sites on UNESCO's World Heritage List, silently narrating its compelling story to keen ears.\n\nAnd as we immerse ourselves in the charm of Hyde Park at this moment, can you hear the faint rustling of trees, that gentle symphony of nature? Imprint this moment in your hearts, for its charm is hard to define yet impossible to forget.\n\nOnce you've taken it all in, signal when you're ready to steer away from our temporary oasis and continue our journey. Our expedition through Sydney's luxurious charm is just beginning, dear guests. Onwards we go, carrying stories of Hyde Park with us, into the heart of the extraordinary city called Sydney.\n\n"}]},{"address":"Hilton Sydney","placeId":null,"location":{"longitudeDelta":0.12231848505090098,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":-33.87178766065977,"longitude":151.20759955000003},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Hilton Sydney🏨✨"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FOHAVMGcr3C67JTmsFfdV%2Fhilton%204.jpeg?alt=media&token=83bab071-8c57-41ba-8c8e-33edb9865a2d"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FOHAVMGcr3C67JTmsFfdV%2Fhilton5.jpeg?alt=media&token=5ea01eba-a0e8-44a6-8104-97ce46528c3b"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FOHAVMGcr3C67JTmsFfdV%2Fhilton%202.jpeg?alt=media&token=5e12537e-6a58-49d6-ade1-27fe89cb9787"},{"type":"text","content":"Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to welcome you to the grand finale of our tour – the beating heart of our magnificent city, the Hilton Sydney. For a moment, close your eyes and imagine the epitome of luxury and style. Breathe in the distinctive city air, open your eyes, and prepare to be dazzled by the reality!\n\nWe've traced the footsteps of the city's elite through shopping centres and strolled through their favourite parks. Now, we’re about to immerse you in one of Sydney’s most luxurious havens: the Hilton Sydney. A beautiful marriage of urban sophistication and relaxed luxurious comfort.\n\nThe Hilton Sydney stands proudly as a truly iconic Sydney landmark. Its grand architecture speaks volumes about the humble convict settlement that evolved into a sparkling international metropolis. The Hilton isn’t just in Sydney’s skyline, it is a fundamental chapter in the city's history.\n\nThe hotel’s imposing facade, a creation of the 1970s, was the brainchild of architect John Andrews. Despite the controversy during its construction, as it sprang up, sleek and contemporary among Sydney's quaint Victorian buildings, it swiftly became a classic city emblem.\n\nStep inside and hold your breath in awe at the spectacular variety of world-class amenities. The elegant rooms and award-winning fine dining attract many, as does the mesmerising 'Glass Brasserie'. Overlooking the Queen Victoria Building, this restaurant has witnessed countless plates of divine cuisine pass over its bar, some curated by the famed chef, Luke Mangan.\n\nWhile you explore, do take up a small quest. Look for a delightful reminder of the hotel’s past - a tiny blackbird replica. The quirky legacy from when the site was a charming little pie store!\n\nNow, as our journey around Sydney's luxurious life draws to a close, I'd like to express my deepest gratitude for your company today. We hope that you seize this chance to continue experiencing the glamour and charm of the Hilton Sydney. After the tour, let us gather at the bar for a delightful dinner and a drink, and let the Hilton Sydney envelope you in its luxurious haze for another enchanting night.\n\nThank you for being a part of this exceptional experience in the heart of Sydney. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again on another unforgettable adventure.\n\n"}]}]
