Sydney: Sydney Airport
built 629 days ago
Since then, Sydney has become one of the biggest holes in Australia (with the exception of Canberra) and now no one likes them anymore. Sydney's peak in popularity was when it was founded. Since then, it has taken a turn for the worst. One of its biggest blunders was hosting the 2000 Olympic Games because the IOC felt sorry for them (and they had taken a bribe of Sydney Airport which was later sold to Macquarie Bank for 2 stones and an ostrich egg). Sydneysiders still don't accept the fact that basically everywhere is better than Sydney and that the only 'real' things that exist are an oversized aboriginal canoe infested with termites, a nuclear missile in disguise and a massive eggshell that was hit by a meteor in prehistoric times.

Sydney Airport's conventional radar has ever increasing coverage limitations caused by obstructions from commercial development activities around the airport and the adjacent Port Botany container terminal. The new Sensis system, with its enhanced coverage, will assist with resolving those problems for the Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) part of the system.

A train service known as Airport Link connects Sydney Airport and the CBD, single fares are $14.20 for an adult, or $9.60 for child. Airport Link connects with the Cityrail [4] commuter rail system and shares a ticketing system, and you can buy a ticket directly to any Cityrail destination. The trains can be busy weekdays during the morning peak [07:30-09:30] as trains that service the Airport ... carry commuters to the City. If there are more than two people travelling together, a taxi will usually be cheaper, and just as quick outside peak hours.
