How to reach Sydney
|
|
By plane |
Sydney Kingsford Smith International
Airport (SYD) [3] is Australia's busiest airport and is the main
gateway to Australia. It is located only 8km from the City
center in Southern Sydney on the northern shores of Botany Bay.
Sydney Airport is the oldest continually operated commercial
airport anywhere in the world.

By car |
It is possible to drive to Sydney
from Brisbane or Melbourne in a full day, around 9 hours
non-stop to Melbourne or 11 hours to Brisbane. A comfortable
drive would allow two days from Melbourne or Brisbane, and three
to Adelaide. The Melbourne drive is mostly dual carriageway high
quality road. The same can't be said for the Brisbane drive,
which while it has high quality sections, it also has some very
narrow winding sections, carries high traffic volumes, and has
many stoppages from roadworks.

Mid-North Coast, New England, the Central West and the Southern
Highlands. It also services Broken Hill weekly. Travelling time
from Melbourne and Brisbane is around 12 hours.
