Sydney is expensive. At least relative to lot of destinations that I will be seeing on this trip. The two main cost factors are lodging and transportation.

Airport to Sydney (and back): Viator transfers - $12.32: quick, easy-peasy. TripAdvisor has an excellent write-up on getting to/from Sydney/Airport -  as cheap as $5. “Route 400 eastbound (Destination ‘Bondi Junction’) – Alight at Mascot Station for a train to the city (8 minute train, $2.36-3.38). Bus is 5min/$2.10 (from Domestic) and 19min/$3.50 from International.” AUD?

Transportation: Sydney has no subway. The tourism office tells me that bus service in the Sydney Central Business District is very bad due to construction. They say the Sydney Circle Line works best. It’s trains. The Opal Card visitor information webpage is located here. The webpage for planning a trip in Sydney is located here. My map for Sydney attractions is located here.

Attractions: See my excellent article on Australia’s Attractions. Other atttractions pages are Fodor’s, Frommer, Planetware, TripAdvisor, Lonely Planet, and Wikitravel.

When I leave Sydney I’m heading for Canberra in a car. I’m going to head for the Great Ocean Road. Leaving Sydney I need to think about rest stops. There are websites with listings of rest stops and they are located here and here and here. After leaving Canberra I’m heading to the Great Ocean Road.
