Sydney

[Awesom Andy]

Hi, can anyone advice what's the cheapest and best way for 4 adults and 2 kids to travel from Sydney airport to rydge world square?

Absolutely cheapest way would be to get an opal card, and catch bus 400 to a nearby train station, and catch the train from there. Otherwise, uber would be your best bet.

Uber. Get a sim card, use a promo code. We paid less than A$10 to the city.

No must buy but things that are cheaper are

Vitamins
Nougat
Tim Tams
Honey
SIstema tupperware
Outdoor apparel and gear

Macadamia nuts

p.s. there are special edition Tim Tams in the supermarkets kind of like how people get the special/limited Kit Kats from Japan.

If you enjoy wine, you can buy a bottle or two for every evening.. stuff like a bottle of Wolf Blass are only like AUD12-15 a bottle only.. dirt cheap.

Hi. What promo code did you use?

Can't remember. And you are aware that promo codes do change ya? Best bet is to Google.

Unlike Japanese Kit Kats, most special edition Tim Tams taste absolutely horrible.

Yup, take bus 400 just outside the arrival house (exit via the exit besides Macdonalds, the bus stop would be across the road, slightly to your left. You could take it to either Mascot or Arncliffe then take the train straight to Central, then it would be an 8 minute walk to your hotel in World Square. Good choice of a hotel, if I may add; very near all the important amenities and you have a Coles just downstairs!

And also fruits (kiwis, strawberries, cherries <slightly>), meat (especially beef), cheeses, healthy food products (chia seeds, quinoa etc).

The mango one was horrendous. The only good ones are the double coated chocolate one (blue packaging) and the dark chocolate one (black packaging).

Those Gelato Messina ones are pretty ok... the Lychee Coconut one seems to be sold out everywhere when I went early August.

I absolutely love the chocolate fondant.. and occasionally they would have special flavors which are hit and miss as well..

Both buses depart from the same stop. Although if you're on the bus heading in the Banksia/Arncliffe direction, you would do better to stay on the bus till Rockdale. It's more of a major stations and there are quite a few more services from here.

Thanks guys for the feedback. Guess SGD1k won't be enough for 5 days then

How many pax? If 2, solely for food should be more than enough.

It's quite easy to spend substantially more than $1k in 5 days, but at the same time, it's also quite easy to spend substantially less than $1k as well. It all depends on what you're looking for and the trip experiences you're after.

One pax, for myself only

I highly doubt I will spend on anything electronics there. Mostly food and adventure tickets only.

Exactly. Would prefer to use CC in the event of not enough AUD.
