    Sydney's Domestic Airport

    I used both the International and Domestic airports in Sydney. Both were very modern and easy to use. The International airport is farther from downtown but has a wonderful aerial view of the city as the airplane is landing across the bay and onto the runway that seems to be practically built on the water.

    Depending upon where your hotel or lodgings are located, it will take you from about 20 minutes to almost an hour to reach your destination - especially if you have to drive in rush hour traffic.

    I needed to go to North Sydney, which I now know means across the bay from Sydney downtown, and it took about an hour for my taxi to make that trip. Unfortunately, since I am an American and he was a Muslim from Bangladesh, I was regaled with his negative opinions of the American invasion of Iraq for a solid hour. Luckily, most taxi drivers are very personable and interesting which makes these isolated taxi driver incidents bearable when they occur.

    The airlines flying out of these airports seemed to me to be stricter on weight limitations than some of their American counterparts. Since I was on a three-week trip, I had a large piece of luggage that happened to be overweight when I checked in for a domestic flight. I had to remove items from my luggage and place them in another bag in order to meet their regulations.

    If you do use either of these airports I think you will find them to be easy to navigate, friendly to passengers and efficient and effective in their operations.

  • If you are at Melbourne or brisbane,you could take bus to enjoy the scenery,though it takes abt 10 hrs from either city.Or catch a flight obviously.Cx out www.qantas.com.au for good airfares.If you prefer, www.virginblue.com.au for an entertaining flight. ;-)
    Buy a day tripper ticket which cost$13 and you could take the bus and/or the ferries all day long...
