Coming and Going

If you're headed for NSW from outside Australia, you're probably flying into Sydney Airport. There are plenty of connections to Asia, Europe and the USA, but Australia's remoteness makes flights relatively expensive and long. Many flights are heavily booked, so make plans well in advance. Departure tax is usually included with the price of your airline ticket.

Getting About

Major bus lines run services into and out of most of NSW. Most lines offer discounts for students, and Greyhound has a good bus pass deal. Interstate and regional trains run from Sydney's Central station, and will take you to all the Australian capitals (except Hobart, obviously), as well as to cities and towns throughout NSW. Major roads from Sydney go north to Newcastle, west to the Blue Mountains and beyond, south and inland to Melbourne and Canberra, and south down the coast to Wollongong.
