Upcoming Visit

Hi

I joined a week or so ago and have been reading the postings with interest. I am based in the UK and will be making my second visit to Sydney this week for work. I am arriving on EK412 on Saturday morning and plan to spend the rest of the weekend around the airport before heading into the City for work during the week.

During my last trip (back in August) I had some issues with my camera so was disappointed with the results I got so I am looking forward to getting better results this time. Hopefully the weather should be better as well - although I will need to learn how to take photos in sunshine!!

Just one question - I will be staying at the Stamford Plaza on Saturday night, how long would it take to walk around to Shep's Mound? I don't plan on hiring a car so just wondering whether I would need to get a taxi.

Cheers

Colin

Hi Colin,

I was in Sydney 1 month ago, i also stayed at the stamford Plaza. It took me around an hour to walk to sheps mound, that was becuase i stopped to get breakfast. but one morning I did in 45mins without stopping for breakfast. I would wake up at 0430 get ready then leave hotel right on 0500, Stop for breakfast at the BP Serivce station at 0535. leave there at 0550. Then 10 mins form there to mound, be at mound right on 0600. Some morning s i would do it 50mins woth breakfast stop, depends how I felt, and what was coming in.

I tried a taxi once, it cost me just over $30.

Hope that helps
