If you arrive during peak hours ( from say 7am-10am or 4pm to around 7pm ) you're going to get stuck in traffic which will naturally add the cost up. The other option is the train which costs around $16 and will drop you at Central station ( in the CBD ) or you can switch trains/grab a bus/jump on the light rail to go further out if you need to. The station is right underneath the terminal so you grab your luggage ( assuming you have more than carry on ) and go down the escalator and you're on the platform. Train wait times can be annoying sometimes, but generally they're pretty regular ( I think the schedule is every 10 or 15mins, but it's been a while since I've caught it ). Just ask where you're staying what the closest train station to them would be, as you may find it easier. Are you staying in the city?  Hmmmm... can't say I know of any Koala Hospital. There's the Wildlife Sydney in Darling Harbour ( <a href="http://www.wildlifesydney.com.au/" target="_blank">http://www.wildlifesydney.com.au/</a> ), which is in the CBD. They offer you a chance to dine with the Koalas, but not sure if they have any kind of hospital.  The only other thing I can think of is the Koala Park out at Castle Hill ( <a href="http://www.koalaparksanctuary.com.au/" target="_blank">http://www.koalaparksanctuary.com.au/</a> ). This may be a hassle to get to you if you're in the CBD and don't have a car. I think there's a bus ( Hillsbus maybe? ) which will you get you out there probably from somewhere like the QVB ( Queen Victoria Building ) but I'm not 100% sure of which one. Just be aware that cuddling koalas is now illegal in NSW. You'll have to travel up to Queensland to do this -- probably Australia Zoo ( home of the Crocodile Hunter ) would be the best place for this, but there may be others. Apart from that, I wonder if Taronga Zoo has something like what you mention? That's the main zoo in Sydney, and well worth a visit if you have time. You can catch a ferry directly from Circular Quay ( essentially under the Harbour Bridge ) directly to the zoo. You can spend a whole day just wandering through it looking out over the harbour and back towards the city. Hopefully one of those will give you a bit of a heads up. Let me know if you have any other questions, and I'll see what I can do to answer them! Cheers -- Stuart</blockquote>
