Travel Information
Arrival
-
From the airport, a convenient and relatively inexpensive
way to reach your hotel or the conference room
is by taxi (about AU$ 20).
By train is not much cheaper (about AU$12); but if you arrive on Monday morning during rush hour and intend to go straight to the conference room, it might be faster: The conference room is about 15-20 minutes on foot from Redfern Station (there is no bus stand or taxi stand there).
For more information on public transport, see www.sydneytransport.net.au and the Transport Infoline website (which has a Trip Planner and Timetables).

Climate

September is the beginning of spring in Sydney. Days will in general be
sunny but possible cool, with maximum temperatures between 12 and 17 degrees
Celsius; it might rain as well.
At night, it will get quite cold; expect around 7
degrees Celsius.
You will need a warm pullover, a jacket and maybe a raincoat or an umbrella. The sunlight can be very bright, so you might want to bring sunglasses as well.
