Non Death Defying Adventure ?

I will be visiting my 20 year old son in Sydney in August. I'm looking to build a memory with him over a weekend trip. Not looking for extreme but something fun & exciting. We can fly to any city there.
Your help is appreciated !

Hi Jerald,

Here's a couple of thoughts:

Hot air ballooning - www.BalloonAloftSydney.com
You might like to do this in the Hunter Valley & make it an overnight trip.

Harbour Bridge Climb www.bridgeclimb.com

Flight over the city in a bi-plane

Or, have an afternoon sailing on the harbour. Google "Sailing Sydney Harbour" for myriad options.
This is just one

Wanna "build a memory" that neither of you will ever forget? For something really exciting, and I mean r-e-a-l-l-y exciting, take your son across to Auckland and do the SkyJump together (www.skyjump.co.nz/), or go to Queenstown where it all began and jump from the Skippers Canyon Bridge (http://www.newzealandnz.co.nz/bungy-...rs-canyon.html ).

Or you could head to Cairns for some snorkeling or diving on the Barrier Reef.

Heaps to do around Sydney though!
