Getting Around Sydney and New South Wales

Getting around Sydney itself is relatively straightforward and there is a good public transport network, including buses, trains, the underground city circle, the monorail, and perhaps the most enjoyable means of transport, the ferries. The CityRail network covers suburban Sydney and extends out to cover the Hunter Valley, Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands and South Coast.
A good buy for visitors to Sydney is the SydneyPass, which combines travel on the Sydney and Bondi Explorer Buses, the Airport Link Train, and travel on buses, trains and ferries. You can choose between 3, 5 and 7 day options depending on the length of your stay in Sydney. The passes will take you to 46 of the city's attractions and places of interest, including Circular Quay, where you can board the ferry services. The ticket enables you to hop on and off services anywhere along the route.

Alternatively, if you are only planning on using public transport for one day, the DayTripper Cheap Ticket provides excellent value for money and includes unlimited travel on all regular Sydney buses and ferries, and on all CityRail services within the suburban area.

For those seeking a bit more adventure, you can always hire a Harley Davidson for the day!

Self drive is one of the best ways to explore the rest of New South Wales, and it is a relatively easy journey to the major attractions of the Hunter Valley, Blue Mountains and the coastal regions. Your Tour Operator will be able to advise on touring routes and car hire in New South Wales
