Located about 11 kilometres south-east of the city centre, Sydney Airport is Australia’s busiest, serving as a gateway to other parts of the country and the rest of the world. It was overhauled for the 2000 Olympics, and hence provides efficient service and easy accessibility for all. Sydney airport has four public car parks all of which are well sign-posted as you enter the airport complex. Courtesy buses ferry passengers to the terminals. Several options exist to get you to the heart of Sydney from the airport. For a small sum, you can ride on the AirportLink train, which runs every 10 minutes and takes 10 minutes to Central Station and 15 minutes to Circular Quay. Green and gold Airport Express buses run roughly every 10 minutes from almost all day. There are numerous eating opportunities in the airport, with everything from fast food chains to a fully licensed brasserie on offer. There are several cafes offering light snacks and drinks, plus a juice bar and a noodle bar. Australia has very strict customs laws, and food and plants of any kind, plus items made of natural materials such as wood, must be declared on entry or thrown into the quarantine bins provided before you pass through immigration. Fresh fruit and vegetables cannot be imported. There are many high quality shops in the airport complex selling everything from clothes and shoes to souvenirs and tax-free goods. Other services include car hire, mobile phone hire, a post office and currency exchange. There is also a very comprehensive visitors centre and a medical centre. All major airlines are serviced.
