Okay, while Town Hall station has its charm - well, charm is probably not the best word to describe…read morethe place, but still, as an underground station, I liked it. However, I have found that Wynard is much better organised, but then again it has been completely upgraded to make it much much better. Then again, I have found that the elevators can be pretty slow at times, especially when you are attempting to navigate it with a heavy bag of luggage. Still, I have actually found it pretty easy to get around, and the corridors that sprawl out from it make it quite easy to avoid the annoying streets. Oh, and the section under the park is still pretty cool.

Built in 1844, the dock was originally named 'Semi-circular Quay", and was just shortened to circular. It soon became Sydney's main dock, connecting ferries and buses, and opened this station in 1956 for trains. It's the main train station for the dock and the exit for travelers going on a cruise boat from Sydney coming from the international airport: a quick 20 minute train ride and easy walk (even with luggage) to the nearby Overseas Passenger Terminal.

The old Sydney General Post Office has been transformed into the Sydney Fullerton Hotel. This was a perfect place to stay. So convenient and so beautiful. Tours are available. 25 Martin Place was once the tallest reinforced concrete office building in the world. It was controversial as several historic buildings were torn down for its construction. It houses the US Consulate. Several war memorials are in the mall. The Sydney Cenotaph is outside the old General Post Office. It honors the ANZAC forces that who fought in World War I. The Commando Memorial honors Australian commandos who fought in World War II and later wars. It is a small seat near the entrance to the Martin Place Station. The Sydney Hospital marks the end of the pedestrian mall. Read the information on the large displays along the mall to learn more.

The station itself is okay, expect for the lack of restrooms, at least as far as I could see. Trains aren't all that frequent either. Then again, it really isn't one of those stations that I'd make a habit of disembarking the train from.

Starting off my series of reviews from my recent trip to Australia with a review on a light rail…read morestation. The Star Light Rail Stop is a station on the Dulwich Hill Line of the Sydney Light Rail. If you are not familiar with The Star, it is a casino located in Pyrmont which is a suburb of Sydney. The light rail station is located underneath the casino and provides easy public transportation access to this entertainment complex. If you are trying to access this station, you need to go inside The Star. There are signs that direct you to the station which is downstairs. Sydney Light Rail runs 24 hours. But from midnight to 6 am, trains run only between Central Station and The Star. It does not continue onto Dulwich Hill. As for the station itself, it is darkly lit. It feels like you are sort of waiting in an underground parking lot. To pay for your fare using your Opal card, there are card readers at this station. Once you get onboard, there is a person that polices the train car to ensure that you have paid your fare by checking your Opal card. This station is pretty close to Sydney Fish Market which is a couple stops away. Though I would recommend getting off at the Wentworth Park stop which is actually closer than the Fish Market stop. If you like to gamble or enjoy the nightlife at The Star, this stop is very convenient as you can use it to reach Central Station and get to walking distance of the Sydney CBD at all hours of the day.

Mind you, I do pretty much hate this station, even if it is simply because of the complete and utter lack of toilets in the place. Then again, when one has visited its namesake in England, I guess you simply cannot compare.

I had some time to check it out, and rode outta here by way of this station. It's located down a long escalator down under street level, beneath a Woolworth's. The trash cans were overflowing with garbage and there was a dearth of seating options. The place was overall dirty, and seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. I didn't see any kind of police presence or patrols. But the trains ran on time, and it's easy to get in and outta here.

Transfers to light rail are clearly marked and easy to follow. The rest room could have been cleaner, but it was free. The exterior looks retro with red brick and has modern touches with the white exterior roof. Finally, there are elevators and escalators here. I know the last time I tried to go thru the subway at Waterloo in London I had to ask a nice young man for help with my suitcase to get it down the escalator, since they didn't have an elevator to use.

It's got the lot, incredible value, never to be repeated again: views (including water views and Harbour Bridge views), close to transport (yeah, literally, but ferries, f(r)eeway and buses are also not far away), close to shops (a couple of restaurants and cafes down there), heritage building, lifts built-in, gardens at your (non-existent) door-step. The list goes on. It also has got two bathrooms, an unknown number of rooms (probably more than your average home), but no parking spaces and no swimming pool:( Ok, in terms of real estate value I've lied a bit here. Circular Quay station is equally good (just see my review of it). The best part of this is you get to enjoy this value every time you check in here, and it only(!) costs you the price of a CityRail ticket. The interesting thing with the transport hub 'Milsons Point station' is that you won't even really notice it's there. Once you step out of the station building, which on its ground level really is just an arch-way under the extension of our Harbour Bridge, you're either in Kiribilli village, or Bradfield Park. From either side, it's just a stone's throw to the harbour. One last breath of harbour air. Breath-in...aaaahh fresh air: "Please stand clear. Doors closing." Oi, bummer.
