the architecture biggies for sydney are the obvious ones: opera house and harbour bridge. queen victoria building (qvb) for shopping. for the latter, pre book a bridge climb. the blue mountains are beautiful and only 60-90 mins away (train available). a harbour cruise is a must do also.
lots of great restuarants and bars especially in the eastern suburbs like paddington and surry hills. prasit's thai (crown st) looks low rent but the food is unbelievable and sub US$20 a head.
most 5 star hotels in the city should be sub US$500. the hilton has just been redone and is right in the middle of the cbd. some good stuff on the harbour too.
i'm biased (moved here 12 years ago from perth) but i think sydney is one of the best cities in the world. shoot me a pm closer to your arrival date and we'll try and arrange a beer/meal etc
