Time zone

Sydney follows Eastern Standard Time (EST): 10 hours ahead of Coordinated Universeral Time (UTC) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). From late October to March, 'daylight saving' pushes Sydney one hour ahead of standard time. This means Sydneysiders can enjoy an extra hour of daylight in the warmer, summer months.

Transport

An excellent public bus and train service will easily transport you to and around the city. The monorail that travels around the CBD and Darling Harbour, is a great way to see Sydney.

Sydney’s harbour is the most scenic way to travel and with many Sydneysiders using ferries as a regular mode of transport. It is also one of the more popular options to travel to Manly Beach and Taronga Zoo.

Water and road taxi services are also available, however they are relatively expensive.
