Lonely Planet review

This natural-history museum, established only 40 years after the First Fleet dropped anchor, has an excellent Australian wildlife collection (including some cool skeletons) and a gallery tracing Aboriginal history and the Dreamtime. There's a half-hour indigenous performance at noon and every Sunday, and a whole heap of fun programmes for kids. It's also wheelchair accessible.

It's on the eastern flank of Hyde Park, on the corner of College and William Sts. There's an indigenous performance at noon and 2pm every Sunday, and a range of exciting kids' activities in the holidays. It's also wheelchair accessible.
