Traffic Information

Sydney is Australia's largest city and this means that the traffic can be a problem. HW1 is the main highway for driving in Sydney and will connect you to most other big Australian cities in a network of connecting regional highways. Other routes to take note of include the HW10 which will take you to Newcastle, the HW5 will take you to Bathurst, and the HW2 will take you to the border of Victoria state. Make sure to keep to the left-hand side of the road when driving and to avoid parking against the flow of traffic which can incur local fines. To avoid traffic, steer clear of driving in the Central Business District during the early morning and late afternoon work commute times. Drivers should also note that due to Australia's expansive land, the distance between cities can be very long and therefore you should be properly prepared before making a journey between them.

Sixt Tips

Sydney basks in sunshine for over 230 days of the year, making it a popular destination in any season. The Rocks neighborhood located in the historic and tourist center of Sydney gives you views of the nearby Sydney Harbour Bridge and was once home to exiled prisoners in Australia's early convict days. Meander through its streets for some souvenir shopping, then take a trip into one of Sydney's many beach-inspired bars and restaurants for a bite to eat. For the truly adventurous foodies make sure to try the local favorite Vegemite, a food spread made from brewer's yeast. With so many species of animals native only to Australia, a trip to one of Sydney's many animal parks and sanctuary's is the perfect way to see the unique local wildlife. A trip to Taronga Zoo, Featherdale Wildlife Park, or Sydney Cove will give you an opportunity to see indigenous snakes, birds, reptiles, and of course kangaroos. Afterwards, spend a day out on one of Australia's famous beaches and try out Australia's favorite sport with a surf lesson. With such a modern and sprawling metropolis, being able to drive in Sydney gives you the freedom to bounce between beaches and take in the surrounding wildlife quickly and comfortably.
