Hi /r/Sydney! I'm thinking of learning how to fly and have heard a lot of bad things about our flight schools but not many good things. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm currently leaning towards Schofields Flying Club or Curtis Aviation (although Curtis is a bit out of my way).
Looking to get a bit of reading done in my spare time before I start uni and would love to get my hands on a few dusty tomes and start a own mini library at home!
Dymocks and the like usually have atrocious prices for a student, and while I am a fan of the cheaper fishpond.com.au, the delivery times are not great for someone impatient like me.
CBD/northern suburbs area preferably, but any suggestions on quality stores are appreciated.
Hey folks,
I'll be up your way this weekend. I'm a big fan of bars with a solid range of craft beers, from Australia and overseas. So where's a good place to go? Preferably close to the CBD.
I'm looking for an independent seller that is does trade-ins. Does this even exist?
Thanks in advance.
So I'm currently learning to drive and have done over 120 hours in my book. I am eligible to go for my P's however, I'm not sure how to do them.
I need to take a car down there which means that I'll need someone who has their license to drive me and wait while I do the test. My mum, since buying her own shop, works every day of the week and cannot do it. I really have no one else to take me.
I did the a lot of my hours with an instructor who charged $50 for a lesson (which equaled 3hrs in the log book), i asked them, but they told me it would cost $150 while they did nothing but wait.
Does anyone know of a cheaper solution?
I haven't booked it yet so I thought I'd see if anyone was interested in coming along.
Read about it [here](http://sydney.edu.au/seymour/festival/tubular_bells_for_two.shtml)
For those that may not know the piece of music, it was used in *The Exorcist* somewhere..
(I think the priest may have been outside the house, I've only watched it once and tried to banish it from my subconcious memory)
I'm going to book my ticket tomorrow night (It's $30.00 each)
If you would like to come along send me a PM or reply here and we can arrange a date that is suitable.
Ideally, I think either this Saturday or Sunday would be good at 5pm and then some beers afterwards.
I'm a bit of a city kid, only been camping a few times but have decided to go out on a limb and go for two nights on the 27th and 28th of January. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to go or what to do? I'd prefer a place where you're allowed to have a campfire going but also where you don't have to dig your ...
Any help is much appreciated :]
I'm 19 so still a uneducated baby when it comes to things outside my bedroom. So does anyone know a good café, mostly atmosphere, but also price wise.
First time in Australia and I was wondering if there's anything seasonal or particularly interesting going on in Sydney right now that might not make it into the tour books.
Is anyone interested in coming along?
The details can be found [here](http://www.sydneyfestival.org.au/2012/Free/Summer-Sounds-in-The-Domain-Mike-Pattons-Mondo-Cane/)
The evening starts at 6.15pm with the following lineup
* Tango Saloon : 6.15pm - 7pm
* Brous : 8pm - 8.30pm
* Mondo Cane : 9pm - 10.30pm
I tried to make the formatting work, but I failed.
it's a long shot i know, but there's been a fuck up with our tickets, turns out the transaction never went through, blah, blah no tickets.. help?
obviously i would pay for them..
Greetings, Syddit!
I've just started learning to surf and am looking for some local knowledge on surfing in Sydney.
Am very new and inexperienced and have never surfed in Sydney-- learnt surfing in Byron Bay and other spots along the coast of NSW.
Which beaches would be the best (good sized waves but not too crowded) to surf at?
And where is the cheapest place I can rent a surfboard from?
Appreciate all advice. Hope everyone's enjoying the beautiful weather!!!
Hi all, have a potential job offer/relocation to Sydney come a few months'-year time or so. (Am originally from Canberra)
What do costs in terms of rent/housing availability/daily commutes/etc tend to be like? Where I'm working will be around Haymarket if that helps.
Thanks in advance
If so can I come visit you and load a map onto my PCIII? The kind folks at Dynojet forgot to mention that their software isn't supported by Macs...
Hi Sydney folk. I have a spare ticket to see this show at The Enmore Theatre this evening at 8:00pm.
I'm not working at the moment, otherwise I'd just give the ticket away. However a friend who I bought it for was going to pay me. Though his mother just passed away last night.
The ticket cost me $65 + booking fee. I'm open to any reasonable offer just because I'm not working.
I'll be at the Enmore from 7:30pm
Anyone have any spare? What's the chances of getting one from a tout? (not sure on the rules over here)
A friend can't make it to their concert on Friday at the Enmore, so I'm giving their ticket away to a lucky [/r/sydney](/r/sydney) redditor! It's free, but there's only one. First one to PM me can claim it.
Edit: it's gone! Thanks for playing :D
There is a lot on so what is a must-see? I seem to be missing all the good stuff..
So far I've looked at Telstra, Vodafone and Optus' mobile phone plans, and I really still can't decide which company I should go for.
Sydney redditors, which company has the most value for money? In terms of coverage, which would be the best? (or maybe coverage does not matter much in the city). I am looking for unlimited text and probably >1gb of data, and about 100min of free talktime.
Many thanks!
Can anyone recommend any good walks? Somewhere with water to swim in would be nice.
