Sydney opera house is a wonder of the modern world. It was built in 1973, cost over $100 millian Austrailian dollars and was paid for in 18months by the the 'Lotto' obsessed australian public.
Walking tours take about 30 minutes, you need to be able to climb steps and it costs about £5 to £10. The tours are very interesting and sitting in a couple of the theatres is amazing. You also get amazing views of sydney harbour. Just after the shell was built the builders fell out with the architect who until very recently would have nothing to do with the opera house. The interior is built independant of its famous exterior and they are now in the middle of renovations to complete it as it should have been now that the orignial architect is back working with them. It a pretty amazing building to say the least.
When I was out in Oz about 8 years ago as a backpacker I was lucky to get a standby ticket to an opera at the house and this is well worth it and worth researching and booking well in advance of your visits as tickets quickly sell out. My most recent visit when I did the tour was Dec 2005.
