Another question about Sydney?

Question

Thanks to all who had so kindly answered my questions from yesterday about where to live in Sydney! I really appreciate your help!.

Just another question.

Say I lived in 1) Ultimo, 2) Pyrmont, 3) Glebe and 4)Milson's Point, how long would it usually take to walk (at a fast pace) from those places to George Street (right in the middle of Sydney CBD)?

Is it actually walkable?

I want to calculate roughly the time it takes to walk from one area to where I will be working but can't really estimate this on the map.

Also, are there any other suburbs that you guys can recommend that's not too expensive to rent ($150-300p/w), safe and convenient from CBD?

Thanks a million!

Answer 1

it would not take 40 minutes from milsons pt..

u just walk the bridge and ur nearly there...

40 would be at a MAXIMUM!

Answer 2

Must make a correction on another answer Glebe is bout 30 minutes walking time to the CBD, the other times are about right

Pyrmont bridge is open to pedestrian traffic, expect a few times a day when it is opened to allow boats through

You could also look at Newtown a nice vibrant suburb walking is close to 50 mins at a good pace

Answer 3

ultimo about about 20min

pyrmont about 10min

glebe about over 1hour

milsons point about 40min

glebe and milsons point are a good walk to the CBD

sydney is expensive averywhere

Answer 4

You can walk across anzac bridge - no idea how, but I see people walking on it!  From Glebe, the walk would vary.  I would say 30-45minutes, walking fairly fast.  (Alternatively, you could grab a bus!)  Pyrmont would be about the same, although you can walk across the bridge at Darling harbour, and that could save you time.  Ultimo would probably take a little less time, say 30 minutes.  I walk from redfern to Town Hall (on George Street) in half an hour, at a relatively fast pace.
