Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	tam you will have plenty of time if your flight arrives at 6am ... if the shops arent open maybe go down the steps to the martin place station and see if there is any lockers for your luggage...otherwise you will have to take all your luggage into the embassey and get it checked by the scanner or get them to keep it there for you...you just sign it in be given a ticket and collect it afterwards on the way oout... DON'T STRESS IT WILL ALL WORK OUT MATE... kath... Edited by Kath, 28 March 2007 - 11:46 PM.	Kath	Female	Australia	2007-03-28 23:45:00
Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	train map of sydney look for domestic terminal and martin place...from the below website you will be able to find train time tables too sydney train routes you have to get off at central and catch another train to martin place...i think thats why we walked from martin place to central so we didnt have to change trains.... at the sydney airport you have to go to the ground floor .....then go down the escalators to go to the underground train station... hope that helps..we ended up taking the taxi because we had so much luggage because we were staying the weekend with my daughter in newcastle and brought quite a few things for her from my house... take care kath	Kath	Female	Australia	2007-03-28 23:25:00
