Getting to Sydney
Located on the southern coast of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, beckons lovers of fun and adventure. Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport is the largest international and domestic airport in Oz. Many international airlines from major global destinations land in Sydney Airport. It is the oldest continually running commercial airport in the world.
Unlike other airports in Australia, it has connections to every continent in the world. European and Middle Eastern travellers fly in via Asia. South American travellers fly in via North America or New Zealand. If you choose to fly to Sydney from other parts of Australia, Melbourne and Brisbane are about an hour and a half away, and Canberra is approximately 45 minutes away. Flying in from Perth would take about four hours.
Fifteen minutes south of the central business district in Botany Bay is Sydney’s main airport. A smaller airport is located further away in Bankstown. Airport transfers are easy to come by and a train service takes travellers directly to the city. Cars can be rented from the airport. Or if you prefer, you can take one of the local buses or hop onto one of the mini-buses that take groups to various hotels for a nominal fee. There is also a train service connecting the airport to the central business district of Sydney. Taxis are easily available, albeit quite expensive. A $2 airport tax is levied in addition to the meter charges, as well as a $5 eastern distributor toll. For groups of two or more people, a taxi may turn out to be cheaper overall since other forms of transport charge per head.
The Pacific Highway has been recently renovated for a better driving experience between the Hume Highway in the north and the Federal Highway in the south. It takes about three hours to drive into Sydney from Canberra and approximately ten hours to drive in from Melbourne. Rental cars are available all over Sydney as well as the suburbs.
A bus service runs between Sydney and other Australian centers, terminating at the bus depot at Central Station. This is often the most convenient and cost-effective mode of travel within Oz.
Interstate and intercity trains carry travelers to Central Station. Due to the difference in the size of the tracks in Queensland compared to those in New South Wales, there is no train service available from Queensland unless you switch to a bus near the border.
