2nd Day, We only targeting Chinatown & Darling Harbour including the Tower. We bought 5 in 1 ticket at A$63/pax covering Wildlife Zoo, Aquarium, Wax museum, Sydney Tower & also Many Seaworld. However we did not visit Manly seaworld due to time constraint. Temperature stil cooling at 17-18C and me without any sweater.darmit.. doh.gif  http://www.wildlifesydney.com.au/news/what-to-do-in-sydney/

You buy online 1st. Thereafter just print-out or show the email confirmation to the counter staff at the 1st website you bought the ticket. They will hive you 5 tickets to the 5 locations on the day you visit. smile.gif

The Aquarium is a must .. damn huge actually.. The zoo.. yeah pretty small. but if you're in Australia.. Zoo is a must for 1st timer esp those animals you can't find elsewhere. For me the zoo also not really interest me as I have a better experience visiting Perth Wildlife park which is much bigger than this zoo and you can touch the kangaroos & koala bear there. But you can't do this in the zoo! sad.gif

On Transport, I dun buy the multi pass.. reason being I am staying right in the middle of Sydney haha.. Everthere within walking distance. For outskirt, I actually rented a car for 2 days. But parking there can be very expensive!! sad.gif Well, lucky I parked at a relative apartment rclxms.gif FOC overnight blush.gif biggrin.gif

Yes, it is acceptable as their requirement is having a valid driving license in eng language...i myself just brought the license translation from JPJ while i was on holiday in melbourne...http://malaysia-sa.org/driving-in-australia/

Any recommendation for a not-too-expensive accommodation for a family of 6 in Sydney? Preferably a self-contained unit with kitchen facilities - thanks !

I'm planning a trip but I'm not sure if I need a visa.

I looked up the visa website and they said that I can either apply for a subclass 601 or 600. Then I found that you dont need a visa because it comes with your ticket from this topic.

So which is it?

U need Online virtual VISA to enter Australia for sure. https://www.eta.immi.gov.au/ETA/etas.jsp

Otherwise, you can do it cheaper from any travel; agents in Msia for ~RM30 rather than A$20 direct online

All food & medicines must be declared 1st in the white form. Thereafter during the checking, it's up to them to decide whether the food or herbs cannot go in. If can't just throw it away. The problem normally happen for those who FAILED to declare on purpose. and if they found out later.. surely a penalty will be imposed on the spot.
Anyway, panadol should not be aporblem.. I also brought in panadol, Po Chai In, ORS, my insulin, Diebetic drugs & vitamins. No problem since I declared. For herbs, just declare and see how they re-act.

would be easier for yourself to have all the declared items (medicine / food / etc) in a separate bag. As most of the items will be removed from the bag therefore, packing them back in will be easier.

When the officer checks your declared items you just point to that specific bag for them to check. Usually they will only check the one you said the declared goods are in.
