Some great places are

Telopea St, Punchbowl <--Fantastic nightlife!

Bankstown Station <-- probably the best place to get Breakfast and Afternoon Tea.

Gosling Park, Greenacre <-- reknowned for the friendliness of the people and a splendid nightlife.

Greenacre Heights Park, Greenacre <- like Gosling Park but with a nice view of Buildings.

hahahahahahahahahahaha as bad as the area is, I grew up around it and got along pretty well with the locals. I now live about a block from telopea street, however more near Wiley Park, which ain't that bad.

to the traveller, anywhere in and around the city is great. I extremely enjoy the Northern beaches (Manly, Dee Why etc) people are great, really friendly and the surroundings are nothing short of breath taking. Enjoy your stay

Trance in Sydney, for uplifting and melodic is almost dead. Brands to keep an eye out for is Liberty, Halcyon, Josh and Friends, and Antlantis. For the harder styles, Gas and Sublime every Friday night are the places to go.

Musically, all the good clubs are in the city. To get the city, train or buses are fine. Taxis are pretty pricey.

Place worth seeing in Sydney, obviously the city down around Circular Quay and The Rocks is pretty amazing (down by the water and the old part of the city, the bridge and opera house are there also).

Bondi = Touristy beach, if you want some real beaches, I'll let waXology tell you, as I go to my local beach, about 30 mins drive from the city.

Going out for drinks in the city, it's a pub on every corner. A nice general location, where you'll get more of the local "classy" people is Cockle Bay. Areas just out the city that are pretty cool is/are Surry Hills, Paddington, Glebe, Balmain.

Work, www.seek.com.au MIGHT be able to help you out. I was talking to a backpaker this morning, who told me that people came to the hostel he was staying at offering people work. I'm not too sure on hostels, other then the YHA ones.

How soon are you coming over? I've got a little project to type up something a little less rushed, and more formal then this, with all the info you're going to want/need in Sydney [if you're a few weeks off, I'll make sure I finish it].

Cheers,

Melbourne's scene rocks. Melbourne is known well for its great night life...

Hard Kandy, Bass Station.. for your harder shit!

Thanks for all the good info, much apreciated for sure. I arrived in Sydney on the 28th of Feb and i've been staying at a hostel in Kings Cross. Nothing like walking down the street and being solisited by guys wanting you to come in and check out their stripclub or hookers asking you to take them home with you. I love the city

I'm actually only in Sydney for a couple days before my friends and I do a little traveling around the country, I should be back to make sydney my perminant residence for the next year in a month or so. I'm registered with IEP(international exchange program) and they help you find work etc. I'll be looking for a job in IT when I get back and a place to stay probably mid april. Hopefully there'll be some good trance events around that time cuz i'm starved for some since leaving home a month ago.
