Answer 2

SHOPPING =

QVB - Queen Victoria Building [George St City Near Town hall corner Park and George st]

Pitt ST Mall - Pitt st is long but the main mall part is jammed packed with shops of all kinds stuff.

Castlereigh St - High end stuff like D&G, Gucci and a whole bunch of other c**p high end stuff too- when you go to pitt st mall these places are paralell to the pitt st mall. [ close to pitt st mall]

World Square - 1 or 2 year old building [brand new complex] ,  it's on George st just down from the cinemas and close to china town.

Oxford St - g*y people's stuff. Some pretty good fashion though.

Paddington - High end classy stuff which is overly priced in a seriously bad way. about a 5 minute or 10 minute cab ride from the city centre.

Westfield Bondi Junction - Make this a day trip the place is friggin HUGE. Get a bus, train or a cab, bus or train is cheapest.

ACCOMODATION =

There is about 1000 different places to stay, i would check out a wevsite like www.roamfree.com.au, or some other kind of accom site for sydney , just type in google.

Answer 3

You should avoid shopping in shopping centers, I strongly recommend you to check out the flea markets, they are great. Sorry can not recommend you a hotels as I have no idea of pricing, but if you want a nice area, check hotels in Bondi and Manly beaches. Have a good trip!

Answer 4

lol dont shop in the city, they lure you in and charge you heaps.

go to parramatta or burwood shopping centre.

Answer 5

Sorry, can't help you with accommodation, but...

You should check out the shopping around the Rocks (even though it's a bit touristy), definitely go to Pitt St Mall in the city centre and the surrounding arcades and malls, and Bondi Junction Westfield - a huge centre with many designer brands as well as chain stores.

You might also enjoy walking up George St., from Railway Square (Central Station) towards the city. There are a lot more Asian-owned stores and cheaper brands.

I would recommend staying in the city itself; the Rocks, Railway Square and Pitt St are within a fair walking distance. The easiest way to get to Bondi Junction is by train from Central, Town Hall or Martin Place stations. (The other city stations don't have trains that go directly to Bondi Junction).

Answer 6

heya.  im from sydney and my recommendations for shopping are the rocks as its got the more expensive brands there but also some reallly good markets on the sunday (i think its sundays but check it up to make sure) -- if your there on a sunday check out the spray painting artist. also check the hay markets in central for the bargains. Queen Victoria Building and Pitt St mall, world square and the strand are also good ideas to check out. if your want to go to a shopping centre try bondi junction.. another cool place to go is manly and you can take the ferry there are some good areas there to shop.. and centre point tower has some shops but im not sure of its quality... for fun also check out circular quay and darling harbour  this should be a good mix of all brands and also prices..

hotel wise try looking up the york apartment, somerset darling harbour apartments, shangri-la (probably the most expensive) obviously the hilton. try looking up www.stayz.com.au

have a good trip
