    Should add that K Mart, target , Woolworths and Coles can be open as late as 11pm. Convenience stores like 711 open 24/7. But more niche stores do generally shut between 5-7pm.

      @tuut1241 Рік тому +6

      True. Simple rule to follow, further away FROM Sydney CBD more likely chances for shops to be open later, like till midnight. Same goes with food, further West you go they will be cheaper and open later. There are also 24 hours kmart out west.

      Yeah, Australia is an island that got basically isolated from most of the world 10s of millions of years ago, also especially with meat from places like Asia things like foot and mouth disease could be easily transported and knowing our livestock trade and system it could ruien us.

  • @tuut1241
    @tuut1241 Рік тому +15

    Sydney being a coastal city (which people often overlook), temperature can fluctuate 10-15 degrees in a day. For example, while it was nice warm 25 degrees dying daylight it can get lower than 15 in summer days and surely lower than 10 in winter days. If it's windy than it will even lower. So be prepared and carry a jacket if you are touring Sydney, waterproof makes it even safer.

    As someone from Melbourne, I can confirm that we do have all 4 seasons in a day, a week or so ago it was 37° (degrees) outside, and then we had this massive storm, it was like a tornado, it ripped my school apart.
    The next day it was cold and leaves were falling from a lot of trees. Just a normal week in Melbourne.

    Living here in Sydney nearly 10years, it doesn’t have 4seasons, more of like 3seasons ,Summer,Winter,Fall, it depends on states.
    Most of the shops close around 6 to 7 pm but for legit coffee shops, 2 or 3 pm. Asian shops tends to open till late(ex. Convenience store, grocery,cafe, restaurants).

      An no. There's definitely Spring. Last year Spring lasted for like 5 months. Summer didn't come until early 2023. Anything below 30 degrees is not summer. I've been in Sydney for more than 30 years. I still remember the hottest day in Sydney was in 2003. It hit 49 degrees in Eastern Sydney. But no one ever talked it. Western Sydney was over 50 degrees.
      Nowadays people are complaining about 35 degrees being hot.

    In cities like Sydney public transport is relatively good and affordable affordable, get a travel card. If hiring a car beware Sydney toll ways are expensive and everywhere and parking is not cheap, even street meter parking. Public transport in Australia is very safe. Use it as it's quite good.
    In Sydney opal card. Hop between Bus train ferry for a Max of approx $17 a day. Hop on off. Get a commuter ferry, no need for a cruise. Also, the card will get you to the blue mountains, Newcastle and south of Wollongong.
