Why do we have to do this? Because the contact button does not actually connect to anyone or even worse to someone who refuses to do anything. I have reported times to Wilson. But, no action seems to have been taken apart from at least moving the person who answers (once you back your car up and go to the lowest level of the car park to find a machine that actually contacts Centre) to Australia rather than offshore . Do not park in this car park if you want to actually get out on time and without major stress.

There's plenty of parking lots in the CBD, but this one is definitely worth knowing about. Firstly…read moreit's super convient if you're heading to Cockle Bay or King St Wharf - and on weekends it's a pretty easygoing $12 per day. But I tend to use this carpark for evening visits to the city, when after 5pm the rate is only $10 (it used to be $9 until recently, too). Still, that's a bargain to park within throwing distance of all those Chinatown restaurants, the George St cinemas and any other manner of city delights. There's nothing worse than being stung with a parking ticket, or looping streets for eons looking for a park. Sometimes its worth throwing a bit of money at the problem and parking someone secure and handy. It makes bringing a carload of friends or family into town for the evening really quite affordable.

Its major retailers are stores like Myer and Zara, with luxury brands like Gucci, Fendi, and Chanel. It is owned by the Centre Group, which was previously part of the Westfield Group, a multi-national based in Australia. The Westfield Group was split in 2014 into a Australia/New Zealand portion (Centre group which owns this mall) and the Westfield Corporation, which owns many shopping centers in Europe and the US, including many that I've been to (Westfield Old Orchard, Westfield Century City, Westfield Topanga, and Westfield Culver City). We spent a bit of time here while waiting for our reservation at the Sydney Tower, whose customer entrance is located in this mall.

A very large Asian indoor market located in downtown Sydney, it reminded me very much of the Korean…read moreshopping malls located in multi-level buildings that were very popular in K-Town LA 10 years ago. But unlike in LA where they are not frequented, Market City was definitely hopping on a Friday afternoon. The vast majority of retail stores are Far East Asian (Chinese and Korean). There are grocery stores located in the bottom floor, along with beauty stores. There are also stand alone carts selling various knick knacks. It was worthwhile perusing them, and my brother ended up buying quite a few things.

Heading to King Street Wharf for the evening on Saturday, we were a little stuck for parking. When…read morewe happened upon this underground carpark, we misread the sign to mean that it was $15 flat rate and headed in. The carpark is really well lit, well signposted and feels safe and secure. The lift from the parking level was clean and new and we exited directly on to the street, just a short walk to King Street Wharf. Only on returning to the carpark did we realise that in fact we'd interpreted the sign incorrectly and got whacked for $30. I still maintain the sign was misleading but who's listening!. There's a 2% surcharge for credit cards and despite several attempts it wouldn't read our card, though luckily we had cash. If you're not drinking and driving then at $30 it's still cheaper than a taxi but $15 flat rate would have been even better!
