Getting TO/AROUND: Sydney is very easy to get around in by train. They come about every 15 minutes and there are signs to help or lots of stops have ticket booths. They are very safe with security guards present at a few of the stations. Cost of an average trip is about $4AU. We stayed on Kings street (shopping, restaurant and entertainment district) and used the The Newtown train station which is on the inner west line. Travelling towards the city, the railway stops in order are: Macdonaldtown, Redfern, Central, Town Hall, Wynyard. Travelling west towards Strathfield, the stops are Stanmore, Petersham, Lewisham, Summer Hill, Ashfield, Croydon, Burwood, and Strathfield. Unfortunately the station can only be accessed by stairs leading down to the platform so its not disabled friendly.

Getting TO/AROUND: Sydney has a ferry system that runs from Circular Quay and stems to 41 other wharves. Quay is also the hub for trains and buses. The ferries has been running in the harbour for 135 years. Not only are they a great way to get around but you get to experience the beauty of the harbour, its city skyline and the magnificent opera house and Sydney harbour bridge. You can buy tickets from Manly and Circular Quay wharves and from ticket sellers on-board our Parramatta River and Darling Harbour services. The cost of the trip varies greatly depending upon where you want to go. Sydney Ferries also operates sightseeing cruises for tourists.
