Darling Harbour to Bankwest

[IFR33K]

@UK Mal - if you need somewhere to stay whilst he you are in Brisbane contact @hineyrulz.

He is a real estate agent and might be able to let you stay in one of the houses he hasn’t sold yet.

Was just about to post if he needs a lift gronk is happy to oblige.

Darling Harbour is a shit place to stay.
Book yourself a place in Yagoona. Much more scenic.

Thanks for the information! Am I right in thinking that if I buy my tickets prior to the game I would travel back by train for free? I will still take the ferry the plan is to spend a couple of hours in Parramatta pre game. Watched the game at the weekend the stadium looks amazing.

That ferry trip will take a few hours. It's a fairly slow boat, especially between Gladesville and Parra. It's not unheard of to find a Taxi that is willing to turn it's meter off and do the trip for a reduced set price but don't rely on it. If the driver looks like he is from the Middle East or the Sub Continent, he will be much more likely to agree to this IMO.

I am visiting Australia for origin game one and spending a week in Sydney prior to Brisbane. I will be attending the Parramatta Souths game on the 31st of May. My hotel is on Darling Harbour would the ferry to Parramatta and a taxi back be the way to travel? Any help would be most appreciated.

Don't stay at Darling Harbour mate. Rose Hill is much nicer. You could stay at the four star Mercure, which is within walking distance of Our Lady of Lebanon Cathedral, Elizabeth Farm and Hooters. You could even walk to the Stadium in 20 minutes if you hook in.

I agree with everything except the 20 min walk. Even if hooking in. That will require a solid jog.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

You mean Rouse Hill.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Might even get to watch the Rhinos play.

He would obviously need to have a go.

Lol. I always wondered what Steady Eddie was up to these days.

Google says 31 min. I reckon 20 min is achievable provided you don't f**k around.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yep. That 31 minutes is for dawdlers.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Jarryd Hayne would take 31 mins.

BA's son would comfortably do it in 20.

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

I still maintain that you can not achieve it in 20 mins without jogging some of the way. I have had a few mates live over that way over the years and know the area well. I'm willing to put $100 on it and prepared to accompany anyone to prove or disprove it. The bonus for anyone who wan't to accept that challenge is that i'll prbably have coronary heart failure trying to keep up with you. And none of this charity shit either. Winner shouts first 5 rounds at the leagues club.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Will they even let me in in my speed walking gear?

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

Lol. If they don't, I'll shout the cab to the Oak.

 

[ram raid]

Yep. Travel to and from is free, provided you hold onto your ticket.

How do you get through the gates at the train station? Do you just ask a worker to let you through?

Just insert your match tickets. They are compatible.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

It's true. Just stick them right in.
