Airport to hotels and back again

I sent an e.m to our organisers to ask if transfers from airport to hotels and back again was organised the same as at the 2011 sumit in Melbourne...but this year it's up to us to organise ourselves ... which is fine with me,

I rang the Metro hotel Sydney Centre tonight and they gave me three alternatives:-

1 ....... cab from airport approx $45 depending on traffic .... ok if sharing with others

2 ....... city train link to Central Station then short walk or cab ride to hotel approx $20

3 ..... Shutte bus from airport to door of hotel .... $14.  Bus can be booked for return trip for booking out.

Third alternative looks good to me.  Thought some of you "bushies" like me might be glad of the info.

See you all in Sydney

    I forgot to mention that I reckon the train is often quicker than taxi. No queuing. No peak hour traffic to worry about.  It runs very frequntly and takes about 15 or 20 mins.

    Hi Sharon, from what the people at Metro told me, there is a timetable at the airport, buses leave every 20mins or so.  We can book for the return trip to the airport with the hotel reception.

    Maybe between now and then we can post here our plane arrival times and work something out.

    Looking forward  to it all
