3.The photos on the net of the rooms looks clean enough,has anyone used this lodge?

I've never stayed there, but have stayed at a few other hotels in the area. I personally like staying in that part of town, but please be aware (as you are travelling with children) that Potts Point borders the red light district of Kings Cross, so if you are out & about at night, you will get an eye-full of an interesting cross-section of Sydney society (drug addicts, call-girls, tourists etc)
You should be OK with paying by credit card on one of the well-known last-minute sights, I have always been happy to do so using wotif.com, and needitnow.com.au. Look for the little "padlock" symbol that signifies that it is a secure booking site.
Have a look at the area around Central Station as well. If you stay around there, you are within walking distance of China Town, Paddy's Markets, Darling Harbour etc.

Central Railway Hotel looks OK, triple for A$110, if that's within your budget. It has a little kitchenette, which is handy when travelling with children:

I tried the wotif website(as suggested by Mike) and they let you book rooms only from one month before my arrival date.i dont want to keep the confirmation of my accomodation until then,moreover i need to show it for my visa application.could someone let me know how to go ahead with booking a budget,safe and clean room for two children aged 13 and 11 and one adult?
thanks,

Hi Seetha,
Have you had a look at :
www.qantas.com.au
Then do a search for hotel rooms.
Still use wotif to get a guide for comparison purposes, ie look at the prices one month from today. That site usually has some great deals.
Thanks Mark,
I usually do book last-minute using wotif or needitnow. But what with heaps of other guests also booking, I thought this time it might not be safe to wait too long....
Ooops Mark, sorry my mistake, thought you were responding to the Bilpin forum!
lastminute.com is now owned by wotif.com, but lastminute has prices for all year round. I would go there.
Sorry, forgot to put inthe actual address:

You might want to try the Noah Lodge for a decent budget accommodation.
I stayed there for a few nights. Might be suitable, might not. Full details on my Australia/Tips/Accommodations page.

Hi, I find the best prices on the Asisrooms website.
My experience is that they're a lot more consumer-friendly & cost-effective, in terms of available accommodation, no restriction on how long in advance you cann book for, & the range of pricing available.
Hope this helps, cheers.
Explore the city by walking around... even if it causes aching feet... see Oxford Street, see Royal Botanical Garden (but don't forget to leave before it closes down... I had to be picked up by one of the park-rangers, shame on me...) Nothing special.... just the feeling I get everytime I remember my first visit to the city and to Australia generally
Going to see OLD SYDNEY TOWN 1800 comes alive.
Be careful they may try to sell you a Scottish Kilt, they did me LOL. Going to see the SYDNEY SWANS. WE WON !
HAD A FEW BEERS AFTER, NOTHING CHANGED THERE THEN.
Ask for Scotch when asking for a Whisky.
Kangaroos were another creature I wanted to see while in Australia, but in Sydney, the only experience you will have with them is here in Taronga Zoo.
Seeing the Kangaroos in their native land was nice, I guess if I wanted to see one in the wild, I'd have to travel to the "outback".
All in all, it was fun seeing them hop around and finding a comfortable spot to lay in.
You can check out the local (and Australian national, and international) news by reading the excellent Sydney Morning Herald. You can find the online edition at www.smh.com.au. These days, you have to register to get access to the website, but it's free and well worth doing if you are interested in Australian news. Sadly it doesn't publish on Sundays - if there's one thing that Sydney lacked on my visits there it is was decent Sunday newspaper. However, it looks as if the Sunday sister paper to the SMH, the Sun-Herald, may be better than it used to be...
The tabloid rival to the SMH is the Daily Telegraph - you can find it online at www.dailytelegraph.com.au.
I became fascinated with Rugby five years ago when I first visited Australia. I told myself that I would attend a match because the fans watching in pubs were very rowdy and it looked like a fun and exciting game to watch in person.
Finally this year, I attended my first match -- The NSW Waratahs versus the Hurricanes. I got there early and was able to purchase my ticket in Cat 1 seats -- although I think you could buy a cheaper seat and still have a great time.
I was not disappointed. The game was fun and exciing to watch and the crowd, while loud, was surprisingly well-behaved. I am not sure what I expected, but thought that all that testosterone and beer would lead to some bad behavior, but it didn't. It may have helped that the home team won.
A family can go here and enjoy the game. To watch the game, all you need is a spare liver.
