Ferries are perhaps the best way to explore Sydney's harbor.
You can crisscross the water at will and get off at numerous stops to explore small neighborhoods or national parks and beaches. When the sun is shining, it is hard to beat a ferry ride. The next big categories are Sydney's free museums and historical sites. Head to the Botanic Gardens and walk through the rose gardens, sit in Mrs. Macquaries Chair and see the prehistoric Wollemi Pine. Make sure to visit the Art Gallery of New South Wales to take a look into the soul of Australia.
