Whats the cheapest way to get from Adelaide to Sydney ?

Question

And where are the cheapest places to stay in the city? thanks in advance for your answers.

Answer 1

Coach class on the train across the nullabor is cheap-ish and quite an experience!!!



You could always post a note in a backpackers - there's always someone driving and needing company/ someone to share petrol with

Answer 2

prepare. The Indian Pacific from Adelaide to Sydney (in a seat, no longer a mattress) expenses $129, and runs two times each and every week. the main inexpensive bus i could locate became into the Firefly show, which value $a hundred and forty and ran on an regularly occurring basis.

Answer 3

To Sydney in a plane



You can Fly Virgin Blue or Qantas.



Virgin will be cheeper (from $30-$100) but if you want service fly Qantas as I have herd that the City Flyer thing is good. Here are the websites as I can't go on them my self (not my computer and i have to get off!)

Answer 4

you need to do some research. either bus:{greyhound} or by an internal airplane. jetstar is the low budhet airline there I think. Try ansett too. Virgin blue is another possibility. Some cheap places in kings Cross in sydney. Avoid Bondi. it can be expensive and is not very nice-to stay in. coogee is lovely as is manly. Sydney is quite expensive however. Have a ball.

Answer 5

Row your own boat, a wooden one would be next to nothing. And when you arrive, you can pitch a tent in the local park. Or by the Sydney Opera house, just tell the cops youre waiting in line for tickets

Answer 6

flying is not too expensive.... you could get the greyhound but it takes forever!! as for cheap places to stay... there are loads of back packers and youth hostels in the city, or even cheaper in the inner suburbs, you'll get one for about $30 a night if you look around. as for cherubs advice on staying in kings cross... it really depends what your into... its sydney's red light district!! have a great time in sydney!!

Answer 7

bus but its not that cheap if you book early the plane fare is cheap much better than sitting on the coach its a real long way

try the tourist bureau before you travel they will give you prices on all the accommodation available

Answer 8

definitely geryhound bus but virgin blue do cheap flights. i hired a camper van and drove, you have to see the great ocean road, its amazing and doesnt take long(well, longer than a bus or plane but worth it!)

Answer 13

he Adelaide Convention Centre is an excellent modern conference venue, within easy and safe walking distance of hotels, college accommodation, restaurants, cafés and the main central shopping mall.



The State Museum, Library, Art Gallery and Festival Centre are all within a few hundred metres of the Convention Centre along tree-lined North Terrace. Two of the South Australia’s universities (The University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia) are also close by.



Further along North Terrace (about 15 mins or so on foot) are the Zoological Gardens Adelaide makes a very good base for excursions to superb coast, bushland or dese and the Botanic Gardens, with its award-winning tropical conservatory. Many wineries are not far away. Bus tours to local fauna parks, wineries etc are readily available from South Australian Tourism Commission

http://www.tourism.sa.gov.au



Weather: Adelaide can be cool and wet in July, but this time of year is perfect for visits to the outback in the Flinders Ranges (about 6 hours drive north of Adelaide) and to more distant northern Australia (Alice Springs, Ayers Rock -Uluru, the Barrier Reef, Kakadu National Park) and many more venues that are too hot in the summer.



If you like it really cool, then Tasmania and the Australian Alps will suit you, not to mention New Zealand. Don’t forget that the Second International Workshop on Edible Mycorrhizal Mushrooms is to be held in Christchurch New Zealand, just before the ICOM 3.



Look at a map, browse the links on this site. Some tours have already been 'tested' by friends and colleagues. Consult your travel agent now.



Adelaide has an international airport, around 7km from the city centre. It has direct connections to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and other SE Asian destinations. Make sure your travel agent knows this, as you may be able to arrange your flights to arrive directly from such overseas destinations.



Delegates from SE and E Asia have many direct flights to Australia (and very little jet lag). Delegates from Europe can travel via Southern Africa, SE Asia, Hong Kong or Japan. Delegates from America can travel via Japan, Hawaii, New Zealand and probably even more exotic routes. There are frequent connections by air with major Australian cities and tourist destinations, Adelaide and other international gateways in Australia.



Add value to your travel at little extra cost in airfares and visit other mycorrhiza centres in the region.



THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO VISIT AUSTRALIA – It’s a big country so plan carefully and allow plenty of time.
