No food items including those pack dried food/fruits. You will hear repeated announcement to throw away all food related items before you touch down. The pictures you've posted are amazing! Anyway, I heard ppl able to smuggler food items too if you're lucky  ..BTW, this video esp on the 2nd part (M'sian banker'pakcik & wife kena caught- U will understand why: |

If you travel with kids, they wont check your luggage. Most of the time. Just declare it in the form. Thats the good thing to travel with kid

The brought biscuits, instant noodles, potato chips. They even declared the items they brought to Sydney on a form. They were lucky at that time? When is the best time to buy the add ons, visa and passport? How many months before travelling? |

Simply put it this way, Australians are an honest bunch and they value honesty.
You can pack dry food like biscuits and chips and stuff, no problems. You just need to DECLARE that's all. As long as you do that, everything will be fine. And if they deem your dry food to be unfit to pass customs, they will just throw it away. No legal issues. |

QUOTE(bysquashy @ Nov 4 2013, 11:26 AM) I used to travel in and out a lot in Sydney Kingsford airport. The Customs is very random, sometimes strict and sometimes relaxed. Nah the customs officer in Kingsford is much better now. Much more relax and friendlier unlike the ones in Tullamarine. Anyway SYD airport is improving too bad the trains aren't  |

FUrthermore comes with free WIFI. Most hotels in Sydney do not provide free WIFI and normal WIFI rate is ~ A$20/day That bed for sure can sleep 3 comfortably. and if you're OK, anothe rkid actually can convert the 2 single sofa to another bed to sleep 4! |

As most of the time i'm travelling to SYD solo the train it is the best option where i can pick up some nice gals with some small chat and most of the time we will meet the next day for coffee  |
