Living in Sydney

SYDNEY IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST DAZZLING CITIES

Plan to drench up the fashion and daylight of Sydney! Domestic to wonderful, sundrenched shorelines, a shining harbor and lavish national parks, Sydney’s warm climate advances an dynamic, open air way of life. It has an extraordinary expressions and social scene, is domestic to awesome eateries, cafes and bars and best of all, it contains a brilliant buzz.

Sydney General Information

  • Climate

    The climate in Sydney is mild, and the seasons are distinguishable from each other. For those of you who live near the Equator, you will notice a distinct difference between Summer and Winter, and that we have no Wet Season. For those of you who come from countries higher up in the Northern Hemisphere, you will notice that our Summers and Winters happen at the opposite times of the year to what you are used to.

    Sydney can be quite humid around February. The average yearly rainfall is 75 – 130 mm, and it can be very windy sometimes.

    SUMMER December – February 25 – 30 °C
    AUTUMN March – May 12 – 18 °C
    WINTER June – August 10 – 15 °C
    SPRING September – November 15 – 25 °C
  • Currency

    Australia uses a Decimal currency system, where 100 cents = one dollar ($). We have six coins – 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, which are silver coloured, and $1 and $2, which are gold. We have five notes, made from plastic – $5 (pink /purple), $10 (blue), $20 (red), $50 (yellow), and $100 (green).

  • Driving

    If you have had a licence in your own country for more than a year, you can apply for an Australian Driving Licence, but you must pass a driving test. If you are on a Student or Working Holiday visa and studying for 10 weeks or less you can drive using your International Licence, if you already have one. Roads and Maritime Services (RMS)
    which is part of Service NSW, is at 19 York Street (near Wynyard Station) and will be able to advise you of what you have to do and where you need to go to arrange an Australian Licence.

    If you are a member of your country’s motoring club and you have your membership card, you can get free information and maps from NRMA, located on George Street.

  • Entertainment

    There are many cafes, restaurants, pubs and theatres located throughout Parramatta, Harris Park, Nort Rocks, Sydney Olympic Park, Epping and Dundas.
