Sydney Advise?

[RugbyReg]

Myself, the missus are Sydney bound for a wedding in March (same weekend as the Tahs v Cru game. We would've considered going if it wasn't at Homebush).

We have people staying Woolloomoollo (whatever), Darlinghust and Rushcutters. We want to catch a ferry to the wedding (on Friday) to Watson's Bay. Do we all have to go to Circular Quay or is there another stop on that route normally on the way (Double Bay or something?)

Haven't lived in Sydney for 9 years so I forget.

Cheers

You used to have to live in Sydney? My condolences.

 

[RugbyReg]

it was ok. Its when the Reds used to be able to win their games down there.

Nice one FOS - I went to Qld 9 weeks ago and can't remember a thing!!
Anyway, you may be better getting a water taxi - not sure how many ferries go to Watto Bay and whether they stop on the way. Could get the 325 bus, but that aint so pretty a trip!

 

[barbarian]

Check the website Nod, it is generally pretty good with maps and timetables. From memory you should be able to get on at Double Bay or Rushcutters and get directly to Watsons Bay. But I'm not 100%, especially on a weekend.

Try and avoid water taxis, as they cost an absolute fortune.

 

[RugbyReg]

yeah, thanks what would the web site be?

Sydney Ferries or something?

We want to go by water definitely and would prefer the ferry.

 

[cyclopath]

Yep, stand corrected - they go about every 40 mins between 10 am and 7 pm or thereabouts. Should check they always stop at Double bay going between Circular Quay and Watto but you should be right.
Water taxis aren't too bad if you have a few people - on your own they're a bit expensive. The ferry would be nicer I agree.

Good on you for admitting you are an ex Sydneysider - these naysayers know nothing of the joys of changing to Qld from Sydney - and lets keep it quiet - we don't want all the wrong types moving up here do we. We got the bus but that's the end of it.
We may not win the rugby but we enjoy losing in a better lifestyle.

It's hate season, no doubt about it.

I reckon we call it a provincial-bias zone and get on with it. No bannings, no holds barred.

...


And Nods, you should be able to find Sydney Harbour OK. It's just like the Brisbane River, except EVERYTHING.

Well, I lived in Brisbane for six years during Joh's reign and came to the conclusion it's overrated. Too hot, too humid and too far away from the local beaches. There are too few decent pubs in Brisbane (the Brekky Creek, Regatta and Exchange are the exceptions) and the beer's crap. Allied with the fact the Tahs got flogged during my northern sojourn (I was there for the 42-4 and 48-10 debacles) and the Wobblies had a bad run at Ballymore I don't have fond memories of the place.

I also noticed a lot of Queenslanders hanging around. Too many. Got out while I could. 8) 8) 8)

Woolloomooloo.

Have fun. A ferry trip on Sydney Harbour, it's one of the world's greatest and cheapest pleasures on a fine day.

 

[Pfitzy]

Don't I know it! Lived in Kirribilli for 6 months when I first came to Sydney and got the ferry from Jeffrey's St wharf every day. Get up at 8, shower, ferry, grab a coffee and breakfast at the quay and then wander up to Macquarie Street to get to work on time. Best way to finish the working day too I might add!

 

[ACT Crusader]

Speaking of that weekend, who's going? At this stage planning on doing the road trip.

Noddy you should come along to rile up the Tahs supporters with me in true QLD spirit....

 

[Scarfman]

We could start planning for this game as a Scarf catch-up. We can have another AGM.

I propose we get more beer. Seconded. All in favour? Motion carried.
