Hey Bradster...., thanks for the advice, although it seems you and I think alike......, scary huh!
I'm booked in for 16 June in Syd, and yes, I have already booked my flights & accom......., got in early. I'll be arriving in Syd the evening before, and I'm booked into the Vibe Hotel, which I believe is only about a 10 min walk from the venue. My return flight departs Syd at 7.45pm, so I hope that gives me plenty of time to get a taxi back to the airport, from Nth Syd? They say the assessment goes until 5pm, was that your experience?
Anyway, thanks again for the feedback......, I'm sure it will help others. And, most of all......, GOOD LUCK!! Keep us posted........
