We were in Sydney with our Jayco camper trailer two weeks ago and stayed in
Lane Cove River Caravan Park. (excellent park if a bit pricey)

We stayed there for a week and purchased a Green Travel Pass. These are
actually for commuters but anyone can buy them. The colour of the pass
relates to the distance out of the CBD you are going to travel. The Green
Pass was sufficient for us in North Ryde and allowed us unlimited travel on
all trains within a radius, all buses also within a certain area and all
ferries in the government system. The grand cost of this was $40
(Australian) each. You may wish to check this out on
