Location
If you only have time for one Sydney shopping street, make it Oxford Street. Stretching from Hyde Park through Paddington and on to Centennial Park and Woollhara, the Oxford Street retail strip is where you’ll find some of Australia’s best designers and fashion boutiques, as well as jewellery, homewares, gifts, books and music. Also the bars and nightclubs are well presented on Oxford street.
It also leads you to the Paddington Reservoir, a water reservoir which provided water to the Botany Swamps pumping station for the provision of water to parts of Sydney between 1866 and 1899. The facility reopened in 2008 as a sunken garden known as the Paddington Reservoir Gardens or Walter Read Reserve.
Another point of interest on Oxford Street is the Victoria Barracks. It is a Regency-styled army base in Sydney where the Headquarters Land Command and Headquarters Training Command of the Australian Army is located.
Bus: The Airport Express 350 operates between Sydney's International and Domestic Airports and Oxford Street Darlinghurst, Kings Cross and Potts Point. Other Regular Sydney buses services run along Oxford Street from the city to the eastern suburbs.
General clothes, food and drink costs.
