We arrive Sydney 9th Feb at 17.55, the quotations we have received for transfers to Woolongong are ridiculous.
Would be grateful for any tips from our friends down under or anyone who has found cheaper alternatives ?

Thank you in advance.

the train, cheap, comfortable

Thanks Uppo.
Our issue was transport from the airport to Woolongong when we arrive. Were staying about 10 mins from the ground.
Only four nights in Woolongong then moving to Bondi or Manly for the remainder.

train from the airport to Wolli Creek, train from there straight down to the south coast, have a look at the Sydney Trains website for timetables

Just back from the RLWC and can't wait to go back for the main event in February.

A great tour with some unbelievable memories but only one minor issue...All beware over zealous security staff in the 'pubs'. Not sure they are used to the boisterous nature of English RL fans and there where consequently one or two unpleasant situations where elderly (50's) fans where ejected with inappropriate force for apparently doing very little. To add salt to the wound on each occasion these fans where arrested once they had been dispatched to the street.

The beer is ridiculously expensive and weak !!

perhaps your accents gave you away, your reputation precedes you, youre the only country in the world who use the word "Glass" as a verb

Thank you Jack.
For the record I do understand what a verb is but didn't consider that when Downo used ''glass'' he/she was referring to a hideous form of assault.
oh dear Downo !!

I wasn't inferring that you didn't know what a verb was BoothferryBoy ..i was just giving a complete explanation of his cheeky remark mate.

Sorry, Jack no offence meant by my reply and no offence taken by yours.

A little offended by the ridiculous "glass" comment by Downo though.

How are people getting from central Sydney to the Anz for the St George game?

seen it written on a few places that transport tickets for more special events there are included in your match ticket, but can't see to find this confirmed anywhere? and then google maps can't seem to find these 'express' trains on the match day, only ones I can find require a few changes.
