An emotional night train from Sydney to Melbourne‼️

Sydney and Melbourne each have their own charms, so it's a good idea to travel to both. Since Australia is such a large country, the distance between Sydney and Melbourne is 876km. There is an overnight train from Sydney to Melbourne. The overnight train route is from Sydney Central Station to Melbourne Southern Cross Station. The travel time is 10 hours and 48 minutes. The train schedule is Sydney-Melbourne 07:40, 20:42 and Melbourne-Sydney 08:30, 19:50. The train operating company is Transport NSW. There are three types of train seats: Economy, First class, and Sleeper Cabin. Economy is general class, with 10kg of carry-on luggage and 1 piece of 20kg checked luggage. First class is business class, with 10kg of carry-on luggage and 1 piece of 20kg checked luggage. Sleeper cabins have beds and are private rooms with washbasins. Reservations cannot be made online, but can only be made by phone. They sell out quickly, so it takes at least 2-3 weeks. They say you have to make a reservation in advance Also, the price is almost twice as expensive as the economy class, so the cost-effectiveness is not that good compared to the airplane The train seats were bigger than I thought, and the tables were big, which was nice There are no separate outlets, so I recommend charging your spare battery and coming here. Also, the data doesn't work well, so it's better to download videos and come here There's a separate store inside the train, and they sell a variety of things, such as breakfast, snacks, dinner, and drinks The sunrise and sunset seen from the train were really so pretty When you board the train, the lights are turned off around 11 PM, and they are turned on around the time you arrive in Sydney You can save on accommodation costs, and it was a good memory because you can see the beautiful Australian sunrise and sunset while riding the train #Travel guide #Sydney travel #Melbourne travel

Sydney Observatory

Exploring Millers Point, Pyrmont, and Docklands is an absolute win for travelers who crave killer views, amazing eats, and city vibes with a side of relaxation 😍🏞️. From Sydney’s Observatory Hill with its panorama, to gorgeously fresh seafood at Pyrmont’s Sydney Fish Market, then chilling out in Melbourne’s Docklands — this trip is stuffed with highlights! Top Spots to Visit: Observatory Hill (Millers Point NSW 2000, open 10:00-17:00): Whether you’re craving a sunrise selfie or sunset picnic, the city skyline and harbor views here never disappoint! Sydney Fish Market (Corner Pyrmont Bridge Rd & Bank St, Pyrmont NSW 2009, open 07:00-16:00): This spot is legendary for fresh oysters and sashimi. My tip — snack at the outdoor tables and watch the boats unload their catch! Blue Mountains hikes are a must if you’ve got time; day trips leave from Sydney and deliver epic scenery. Sydney Observatory (1003 Upper Fort St, Millers Point NSW 2000, open Thu-Sat 12:00-18:00 (or 12:00-19:30 DST)): Dive into Australia’s stargazing history. Night tours are eye-opening! Melbourne Lifestyle Apartments - Best Views on Collins (893A Collins Street): Super clean, super friendly staff, and the river/harbor views = wow. Great value, especially if you love staying somewhere quiet but close to all the action. Getting Around: Sydney’s public transport is top notch (get an Opal card!). Melbourne’s trams are free in the city center—so hop off and explore Docklands. Eat: Grab lunch at Sydney Fish Market (try the grilled barramundi), and in Melbourne, hit the local cafes along Collins Street for excellent coffee. Tip: Weather changes quickly, so bring layers! And save by using local transport over rideshares. #SydneyViews #MelbourneDocklands #FishMarketEats #TravelSmart #Tripcom
