Sydney Visitor Centre
at the international airport terminal (daily 5am until last arrival; tel 9667 6050), offers the most comprehensive tourist information service. Staff can arrange car rental and onward travel - it's licensed to sell train and bus tickets - and book hotels (but not hostels) anywhere in Sydney and New South Wales free of charge. The
accommodation bookings
here are at stand-by rates, so it's possible to get a good deal. Most hostels advertise on an adjacent notice board; there's a free phone line for reservations.
The main central tourist office is the
Sydney Visitor Centre
