Bulldog90,

You really should visit the AWM in Canberra. Like I said, it's about a 3 hour drive from Sydney, and one of the best war-themed museums in the world. The current "Over the Front" display (I'm told) is a MUST see. I'm going down there to have a look sometime in early November - flying down and back on the same day - YES, it's worth it!

Your good lady wife may not appreciate you taking this much time out of your honeymoon, but you will kick yourself if you miss out. As Chock said, make a day of it, but ALSO research her favourite hobby/pasttime and what special display can be seen in Sydney, and spend a day there (DON"T grit your teeth...enjoy it. The secret of a good marriage is to share your partner's interests).

I'd be happy to show you round the Powerhouse Museum to look at your favourite Bleriot.

Enjoy your stay in Sydney. Take a ferry ride from Circular Quay to Manly (very cheap) and take in the sights of the most beautiful harbour in the world.
