Can I please get some pointers on shuttle companies doing transfers? We are a party of 5, travelling one way on 15th December 2013.

I have seen shore tours and shuttlemate online. Any feedback on these or other companies gratefully received.

The general consensus on TA is don;t use shuttle companies from the airport. They are not reliable and there are numeorus complaints.

Top Right of the forum

My suggestion would be to take a "maxi-taxi", which will have plenty of room for 5 pax & baggage. I think the rate is about 50% more than a normal cab.

Ask the taxi co-ordinator at the queue to call one for you.

You need to make sure to tell the driver which terminal you want to go to.

Wharf 5 at Bangaroo.

I think for 2 people the easiest is the train ... they run very regularly and you know what the cost is - around $15 pp.

Here's the FAQ with your options - http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g255060-c119393/Sydney:Australia:Sydney.Airport.Transport.html

Great Barrier Reef

Spanning 1,400 miles long, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system in the world and home to thousands of underwater species including exotic fish, sharks, turtles, and more. Experience the magic of camping on a pontoon boat under the stars. Discover the idyllic islands that line the reef, such as Fitzroy Island, an unspoiled paradise with white sand beaches and pristine water, and the Whitsunday Islands, where the famous Whitehaven Beach awaits.

On cruises from Sydney, you’ll travel to gorgeous destinations around Australia and New Zealand, including natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef, exotic islands in the South Pacific, and exciting cities like Auckland.

Sydney Port Facilities & Location

Ships typically dock at the Overseas Passenger Terminal, which is a five-minute walk from the city center. You’ll find ATMs, currency exchange offices, cafes, and restaurants right by the terminal.

Top Sights & Attractions To See Before Cruises From Sydney

Sydney opera house.

The Sydney Opera House is the city’s defining landmark and a fabulous display of modern architecture. The exterior was designed in the shape of the sails of a sailboat, and its unique structure often gleams in the sunlight. The Opera House’s sail shape also provides excellent acoustics for the many performances that occur inside the venue each year, which include opera, ballet, music, comedy, kid shows, inspirational speakers, and more. 

Taronga Zoo

Sydney’s Taronga Zoo is a popular attraction for animal lovers embarking on one of our cruises from Sydney. This award-winning zoo features over 4,000 animals, which includes species that are native to Australia as well as rare and endangered animals. Head up on the Sky Safari, the only cable car in Sydney, for spectacular views.

Bondi Beach

Australia’s most famous beach is also one of its most beautiful. Bondi Beach is only about 15 minutes southeast of Sydney’s city center and provides a quintessential Australian beach-going experience. You’ll find soft golden sand, beachfront restaurants and bars, and lots of surfing and other water sports. 

Manly Beach

Another popular beach to visit in Australia is Manly Beach, especially if you love surfing. Manly Beach was the site of the world’s first surfing contest back in 1964. While its legendary waves along the northern end of the beach at Queenscliff Bommie are only recommended for advanced surfers, the area on the southern end of Manly Beach has great waves for beginner surfers, too.

Top things to do in sydney, climb the sydney harbour bridge.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a heritage-listed bridge made of steel and features a defining arch, and one of the top things to do in Sydney is climb it. You’ll suit up in specially-designed outdoor gear and climb over 400 feet above Sydney Harbour. The bridge is open to vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians to cross or climb.

Enjoy the View from Sydney Tower Eye

Another way to get high above the city is during a ride on the Sydney Tower Eye, which takes you to the highest point in Sydney. You’ll have a bird’s-eye view of the harbor, city skyline, and distant Blue Mountains off the coastline. After you take a ride on the Sydney Tower Eye, you can also visit the observation deck, 4-D cinema, and other exhibits that come included with admission.

Play at Luna Park Sydney

If you’re looking for some family fun before embarking on a cruise from Sydney, head to  Luna Park, a restored amusement park that dates back to the 1930s. Both kids and adults will love going on exhilarating rides, taking a leisurely spin on the Ferris wheel, and gliding down giant slides. During your visit, you’ll also find carnival-style foods and games.

Where c an I eat in Sydney?

Foodies will love Sydney’s international food scene. From ritzy waterfront restaurants to laid-back eateries along one of Sydney’s “eat streets,” the city has it all. For an after-dinner drink, it’s hard to beat a cocktail in one of the sky bars located atop its many skyscrapers. If you’re looking for a gourmet meal in a setting like nowhere else, head to Sixpenny or Bennelong, an elegant restaurant located inside the Sydney Opera House.

What’s the culture and history of Sydney?

Sydney Harbour was originally the home of the aboriginal tribes of Australia. With the arrival of Britain’s First Fleet in 1788, the city of Sydney (named after Lord Sydney, the British Home Secretary at the time) was established as a penal colony of Great Britain. By 1840, the transportation of convicts to the city had ceased. A decade later, the population of the city grew exponentially after a local gold rush. 

Up until 1900, Sydney was the capital of New South Wales, a British colony. But after the Commonwealth of Australia was established in 1901, Sydney became the capital of the state of New South Wales, which joined the Australian Federation. The wild and harsh start of colonial Sydney is now long in the past. Today, you’ll find a vibrant and cosmopolitan city with one of the most diverse populations in the world.

Where can I go shopping near the Sydney cruise port?

You will find an assortment of shopping malls near the Sydney cruise port. Some of the largest are Westfield Sydney, The Galeries, and World Square. For local boutiques, head to the intersection of Oxford Street and Glenmore Road. In the neighborhood of Paddington, you’ll find shops with cutting-edge fashion from new designers. For souvenirs and art, head to The Rocks near the Sydney Opera House, or the Strand for Australian hats and boots. 

How can I get around Sydney?

Sydney has a variety of public transportation options. Its extensive bus route system goes to many of the most popular tourist sites, plus there are a light rail and ferry service. In addition, the Sydney Metro provides fast, frequent service around the city. As for taxis, you’ll find them waiting right outside the Sydney cruise terminal, as well as in taxi ranks all around the city.

What are the local currency and tipping customs?

Australia’s official currency is the Australian dollar. The paper bills come in increments of $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. Credit cards are widely accepted, but traveler’s checks are not. Tipping isn’t expected in Australia, but is appreciated. If you do tip, a smaller amount around 10% is usually acceptable.

Newcastle to Sydney Airport

B o o k n o w, i n s t a n t q u o t e, journey: newcastle to sydney airport.

Sydney airport lies just south of the Sydney CBD, about 150 minutes away from Newcastle. Due to the distance, getting from Newcastle to Sydney airport can be a little challenging, but there are still plenty of options available. From the airport, you can access taxis, buses, shuttle buses and hire cars, as well as the train. However, the best option in terms of cost, convenience and comfort is an airport shuttle from Hughes. Given the distance, the cost of taxis can be prohibitive. The remaining options, such as bus and train, can be quite time-consuming. But with an airport transfer from Hughes, you can get the most direct transport for the best price.

With Hughes, you also get door-to-door service. This means that we will pick you up from anywhere in Newcastle, or drop you off anywhere in Newcastle. Our range of vehicles suits everyone from individual passengers, to large groups. These vehicles include premium and luxury limousines, as well as luxury people movers, vans and coaches. In fact, our airport shuttles can cater for up to twelve passengers, while our luxury coach can accommodate up to fifty. So contact us today for the most direct airport shuttle from Newcastle to Sydney airport.

Whether you are looking for a luxury limousine or premium sedan experience or want to move a large group easily and in comfort, Hughes can help. We have vehicle options for 1 – 61 passengers and an extensive fleet to accommodate all your transport needs.

Early educators covered by placement payment, Clare says

Taking questions from reporters, the education minister, Jason Clare , said early educators were also covered by the new placement payment:

If you are an early educator doing a teaching degree, you are covered by this. If you check out last year’s budget, there is funding to provide support for early educators doing a Tafe or vocational qualification as part of their prac … The accord said this is where we go first … They said look at teaching, early education, nursing, midwifery as well as social work, so that’s where we’re focused first.

PM speaks about new payment for student teachers and nurses

The PM has also been detailing a move to address “placement poverty” in the upcoming budget, as we flagged earlier .

Anthony Albanese said the funding for student nurses and teachers was aimed at encouraging people to take up those professions.

No one, I don’t think, becomes a teacher because they look forward to getting gigantic salaries … They do that out of their commitment to help their fellow Australians, particularly young Australians achieve the opportunity that comes with education. I said on election night I wanted to widen the doors of opportunity … [These courses are] very satisfying and that is a good thing, but we should also make sure that people who want to do a course – want to become a teacher, want to become a nurse – don’t go, “I would really like to do that but I just can’t afford to do so”. That is why this measure is practical and so important.

Albanese speaking about budget to media in Canberra

The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, is speaking to the media from Canberra, flagging what to expect in next Tuesday’s budget:

Our budget will be focused on three things: cost-of-living support and giving support where we can, but doing it in a way to affirm our second priority, which is putting that downward pressure on inflation; looking at measures that will make a difference without adding to inflation, making sure that fiscal policy works with monetary policy; and the third priority is our national interest – a future made in Australia, making sure that we learn the lessons of the pandemic, that we are a more resilient economy, we take advantage of the opportunities that are there to grow into the future.

He is also speaking about the federal government’s move to cut around $3bn in student debts through a key change to the Hecs and Help programs. Caitlin Cassidy has all the details on this below, in case you missed it:

Westpac profit eases as mortgage stress rises

Westpac has recorded a sizeable jump in the number of mortgage customers falling more than 90 days behind on their repayments, as elevated interest rates and rising living costs put pressure on households.

The major bank reported a jump in mortgage delinquencies to 1% in its half-year results released today, up 32 basis points from a year earlier. Delinquencies refer to households which are more than three months behind on their mortgages, representing those at higher risk of having homes repossessed.

Westpac chief executive, Peter King , said that although there were signs of increased mortgage stress, the overall economy was proving resilient.

While we’ve seen an uptick in stress in our loan books, this is to be expected given the large increase in interest rates, high inflation and taxation.

Westpac reported a $3.34bn six-month profit to the end of March, down 16% from a year ago. Its chief gauge of profitability, net interest margins, eased slightly to 1.89%.

King said the bank’s margins were helped by more subdued mortgage competition among lenders during the last six months.

Australia’s major banks have been enjoying a period of share price strength and profitability, despite the recent pullback in profit margins.

Westpac announced today it was increasing its share buyback program by $1bn, a measure used to return excess capital to investors, and that it would also pay a special 15 cent dividend to shareholders.

Telstra announces it will push back closure of 3G network by two months

Telstra has announced it will delay the closure of its 3G network by two months, from 30 June to 31 August, allowing people more time to update their devices.

The telecommunications company has been working towards the change for nearly five years and described it as a significant step, leading to improved connectivity for Australia.

Everyone using devices that rely on 3G for either data, voice or emergency calls need to prepare to stay connected when it switches off.

Customers can check if their handset will be affected by the upcoming closure by texting “3” to 3498, Telstra says.

Stephen Rue appointed as new Optus CEO

Stephen Rue , who is currently CEO of the NBN, has been appointed as the new CEO of Optus .

His appointment will take effect from November, a statement published this morning said. Optus chairman Paul O’Sullivan said:

We’re extremely pleased to have someone of his calibre to lead the next chapter at Optus. His experience in setting up the digital backbone of Australia will serve us well as we reinvigorate Optus as Australia’s leading challenger telecommunications brand. We expect Stephen’s operational and financial background to lift service standards significantly for the benefit of our customers.

Rue said he was “honoured and excited to be given the opportunity to lead Optus”.

My job will be to take care of Optus’s customers, people and business and to provide strong competition and choice.

His appointment coincides with a new governance model where the Optus CEO and executives will report to the Optus board – with Rue joining the board and reporting to the chairman.

Members of the Optus board include chair Paul O’Sullivan , Yuen Kuan Moon , John Arthur , Lim Cheng Cheng and Michael Venter .

Until Rue begins his role as CEO, Venter will continue as interim CEO.

Only five of 148 promised frontline workers employed in NSW: Jodie Harrison

Jodie Harrison was also asked about funding from the commonwealth to states like NSW to provide about 500 family violence frontline workers.

Yesterday the minister for women, Katy Gallagher , said just 30 had been delivered nationwide so far:

Asked about this on ABC News Breakfast, Harrison said “about five” of the state’s promised 148 have been employed so far. She said:

We’ve been working with the federal government to make sure that we comply with what they have already committed to in local areas, and we’ve been doing a lot of work to analyse where gaps are so that we can make sure that the balance of those 148 workers are actually put into the areas that they are most needed. We’ve been consulting really heavily with people who work in the domestic and family violence space, and looking at the crime statistics as well, and we are in the process of procuring those workers right now.

Is only five employed so far good enough? Harrison responded:

Look, it would be really wonderful if we could have moved faster on this. Certainly, the domestic and family violence sector are saying and have been saying that they need additional resources. But we want to make sure we’re putting the workers into the areas where they’re most needed.

Ankle monitoring for DV offenders on bail ‘on the table’, NSW minister says

Jodie Harrison , the NSW minister for the prevention of domestic violence and sexual assault, was speaking to ABC News Breakfast earlier about the $230m emergency package unveiled today .

She was asked if NSW would be in favour of attaching ankle bracelets to domestic violence perpetrators on bail. Harrison said:

We’re certainly looking at all of the options that are on the table [and] really keenly looking at the experience in South Australia. We know that they’re also really having a hard look at domestic and family violence at the moment through their royal commission – we’ll be keenly looking at what comes out of that, but also looking at their experience in relation to ankle monitoring and electronic monitoring.

So is that something the NSW government would be favourably disposed to? Harrison responded: “ Nothing is off the table right now for us. Everything is on the table. ”

Qantas to pay $120m in penalties and compensation

Qantas will fork out $100m as a civil penalty and pay out $20m to customers in compensation, after striking a deal with the consumer watchdog over a landmark action for allegedly selling tickets to flights that had already been cancelled in its system.

Qantas today announced it had come to an agreement with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to resolve the court proceedings lodged in August last year, alleging it had advertised and sold tickets for more than 8,000 flights that it had already cancelled in its internal system , revelations which precipitated the early retirement of former CEO Alan Joyce .

In a statement, Qantas said it will “commence a projected $20 million remediation program for impacted passengers, with payments to customers ranging from $225 to $450, and subject to the approval of the Federal Court of Australia, will pay a $100 million civil penalty”.

The ACCC and Qantas will shortly seek approval of the proposed penalty by the Federal Court. However, Qantas intends to commence the remediation program in advance of the Court approval process.

ACCC chair, Gina Cass-Gottlieb , said that as part of the settlement, Qantas had admitted that it misled consumers:

Qantas’ conduct was egregious and unacceptable. Many consumers will have made holiday, business and travel plans after booking on a phantom flight that had been cancelled.

Qantas CEO, Vanessa Hudson , said: “Today represents another important step forward as we work towards restoring confidence in the national carrier … we have since updated our processes and are investing in new technology across the Qantas Group to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”

Qantas will facilitate payments to 86,597 consumers who, between 21 May 2021 and 26 August 2023, booked or were re‑accommodated on a domestic or international flight scheduled to depart between 1 May 2022 until 10 May 2024 after Qantas had already decided to cancel it.

Of customers affected, 94% were flying on domestic or trans-Tasman routes, with the remainder flying on the international network. The financial hit of the penalty and remediation program will be recognised as an expense in the group’s statutory income statement for the current financial year.

Search for person overboard continuing

The search for a person overboard a cruise ship in waters off Sydney, as we reported just earlier , is continuing.

Here is a photo of the flight path of a rescue helicopter that was sweeping a section of water off the coast:

And here is the path of the P&O Pacific Adventure , whose scheduled arrival into the harbour at 6am was delayed so the ship could take part in search and rescue efforts:

Body found during search for missing passenger on Sydney P&O cruise ship

Share this article

A passenger has gone overboard and is missing off P&O's Pacific Adventure cruise ship in the waters near Sydney Harbour.

Police have found a man’s body in the waters outside of Sydney Harbour as they search for a cruise ship passenger who went overboard in the early hours of Monday morning and is now missing.

P&O Cruises’ ship Pacific Adventure was scheduled to arrive in Sydney Harbour before 6am (8am NZT), but as of 6.30am, it remains in the coastal waters off Sydney’s east.

Flight tracking data reveals a rescue helicopter has also been searching the area.

At about 10:30am, officers from the Police Marine Area Command located and recovered the body of a man in the waters off Sydney Heads.

Police will now prepare a report for the Coroner and investigate how the incident unfolded.

P&O confirmed to news.com.au that a person had gone missing overboard and a search was under way. It noted employees were attending to the family of the missing passenger in the meantime.

“P&O’s Pacific Adventure is currently undertaking a search and rescue operation off Sydney after a person-overboard alarm was raised at 4am,” a spokesperson for P&O Cruises Australia told the publication.

“Since this time, the ship carrying more than 2600 guests has been on site searching along with other nearby vessels deployed to the area by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority’s Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre.”

“The family of this guest is being cared for by our on-board team while every effort is being made to find them.”

The Pacific Adventure was scheduled to arrive at Sydney’s White Bay Terminal this morning, but its arrival has since been delayed.

A man who planned to pick up Pacific Adventure passengers was told to not “rush” as “the ship’s stopped outside the head and somebody’s gone overboard”, he told 2GB.

Another passenger told the station’s breakfast show host Ben Fordham that a “man-overboard call” woke them up.

“We got woken up with the man-overboard call and from there it’s been all on for a couple of hours now,” he said.

New South Wales police earlier confirmed they were searching for a missing person near Sydney Harbour.

“Police are leading the search of waters off Sydney following reports a person was in the water,” NSW police told news.com.au .

They received a report soon after 4am that “a person had gone overboard” near the waters of Sydney Heads, about 18km from the shore.

“NSW Police Marine Area Command have deployed a number of resources to search for the person and are leading the co-ordination of the water search.”

The Pacific Adventure was making its way back to Sydney from a three-day round-trip cruise to Queensland’s Morton Island.

The ship’s three-day voyage is understood to have been Elvis themed, with the title Tribute to The King.
