wanna know what you’re up for re the living cost in Sydney? here we’ve compiled the basics about a few Sydney expenses to expect (give or take). 

food
check out Woolworths – big chain supermarket – for the current cost of milk, bread, toothpaste and other everyday stuff.
small note: milk comes in litres! not pints. for a litre of milk you’re looking at around $3.00

see grocery prices @ Woolworths >

travel
the cheapest way to travel around Sydney on the train or bus is with a weekly ticket.  much cheaper way then buying a single ticket each day. grab them at any newsagency or  railway station.

train
rather than give you a giant list, here’s a few typical prices. from Sydney airport into the central station  it’ll cost you about $15.00 one way.  Inner city travel will cost you about $3.00 each way. City to Bondi junction ( near bondi beach) will cost about $4.00

bus
bus prices vary depending on how many zones you need to travel through to get to your destinations. note; these zones are nothing like the zones you find in London. we wish. It can be a little confusing but just ask the bus driver until you get the hang of it.typical prices; Inner city travel will cost you about $3.20 one way, city to bondi beach $4.00 one way, City to Manly will cost you about $5.00 one way. I get a green travel pass for the week to go from the Northern Beaches to Wynyard and it costs me $40.00 a week. watch our transport video for some hot tips too. and check out the prices here.

rent
ok so this one’s kinda hard to give exact costings on, cos it really depends on so much. eg. how much of a beach bum you are☺, how close you want to live to the city, how many people you’re living with, closeness to transport, bills,...well you get the idea. check out our syd accomm vid for tips
