Of the many questions asked by cruise ship tourists who have just arrived in Sydney City, Australia, Jim Dickie is most often asked, "Where is the pay phone". He is one of the Sydney City ambassadors who welcomed thousands of tourists in the city's harbor which peak from October to April.

The most prominent volunteers of this tour will be at Overseas Passenger terminal and White Bay welcomes tourists.

He became an ambassador after seeing an ad in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper six years ago. "I originally came from Scotland with my wife and two children Sydney has been so good for us and I think if I retire I want to give something (for Sydney City)."
What to see in Sydney

Dickie who also recently returned from a cruise ship trip in Honolulu admitted to join as an ambassador as a way to know more about the city of Sydney.

Now he has memorized the best tours, road trips, hotels to the various state offices in the city.

For cruise ship passengers who are only in Sydney for a day, the most important tip from Dickie is to catch a red tour bus before visiting the Sydney Tower.

"We're trying to figure out what interest they are in. Some might be cricket fans and would like to see the cricket museum on the Cricket Ground," Dickie said.

"I direct Chinese tourists to Cabramatta," he said. "They got off the boat and asked, where is Chinatown, and I said yes here, but there's one in Cabramatta that's better, they can take the train there."

One of the volunteers, Megan Nixon who was born in Melbourne, admitted "in love with Sydney" and wanted to do outdoor activities.

"The most frequently asked questions are in cafes where there is good coffee, as well as where I can store bags," he said.

"Some German tourists ask if they can touch the koalas," Megan said, adding, "I explained they could take pictures but could not touch them."
