Sydney Observatory is one of Australia's oldest observatories. It has a variety of exhibitions, a 'beanbag planetarium' and, of course, telescopes. The parks and views of the harbour from the Observatory Hill are exceptional, and its worth a visit even if you have no interest in astronomy, and you aren't even going into the building. The old telescopes here aren't the most powerful around, and the portable telescopes they have set up are just as powerful as the large ones in the domes.
