Neighbourhood

Quiet, safe suburb, walking distance to shops, parks, public transport, and Hillsdale Bowling Club for food and drinks.

Getting to my home

Uber/taxi from international airport is approx AU$25. From domestic airport is $20. If you don't have much luggage, the 350 bus goes from the domestic airport to Westfield Eastgardens, an 10 minute walk to my house. To/from the city, a bus top is 8 minute walk away.

Nearest airport

SYD (Kingsford Smith Airport) is less than 15 minutes drive.

Getting Around

The city can be access by bus/light rail. Catch the 392 bus to UNSW and change there. Uber is my preference.

Louise

Hi, I'm a travel writer, roaming the globe for the past 20 years, writing for newspapers and magazines. In 2026 I have trips planned in the Arctic, Oslo, Vietnam, Philippines, Japan and Spain. My two-bedroom house in Sydney may be available for reciprocal swaps but I also have many Globes to use! I have previously exchanged in New York, London, Amsterdam and Melbourne. I’m 51, clean, quiet, no kids, no pets, non-smoking :)
