When using White Bay we train to Town Hall where there are lifts to get to the road and then taxi to White Bay and it is a short journey about $20 (for 2 persons)  when Captain Cook was running it was $9 each and the very long walk dragging cases.

We never used the Captain Cook ferry. I couldn't see any advantages. We found the best way from/to the airport was a taxi. The cost was around $55-$60. Sometimes there would be another couple we could share with. Yes, this is more expensive than using the Captain Cook ferry, or the train/taxi option, but when we have spent a lot of money on the cruise plus the flight from Brisbane, we don't see the point in quibbling over an extra $20 or so.

Smart idea as it is a direct route from there.

We had time on our hands after a 1000 check out. So, we took the light rail from Chinatown where we were staying to Star City. Walked to the Star City Hotel, and called a Uber. Leee than 5 minutes to arrive, and only $15 to White 🐘.

If you are already on a suburban train, Town Hall is definitely a better stop for White Bay than Central is.

 

For anyone coming into Sydney on an intercity service, it terminates at Central. Much better for us to pay a few dollars extra and take a cab from Central, versus lugging our luggage over to the suburban lines for a next stop train to Town Hall.

The interesting thing I find about it. Is it’s the biggest public transport project in Australia and the trains are made in China.

Every detail about it has to be cross checked and signed off by a company in China that’s controlled by you know who.

Perrottet?
