That sounds fantastic Rhon! I would LOVE to go to that....don't know how I would go with a 'babe in arms' and getting to Sydney....but I'm definitely considering it.
Yeah it does sound really good doesn't it! A bit of a geographical challenge for me too, but I would love to go. Amy, I've read that it is ok to bring babies along too.
It would be amazing to meet all of you guys!
The Tattersalls Club (181 Elizabeth Street, Sydney) is overlooking Hyde Park -right in the centre of town. (walking distance from Town Hall Station, St James Station, plenty of buses nearby.) There is a parking station nearby that offers a $14 flat rate for the entire day.
Accommodation:
All these places are modestly priced, by Sydney standards.
The above details were posted by some other cysters, and Kath, apparently flying jetstar or using flybuys points/rewards thingys are worth investigating too.
I will post any more info as it becomes available.
