If you do plan on taking public transport around Sydney, I recommend that
you get a Daytripper ticket. You get all trains, just about all the city
buses (not the fancy airport or tourist ones though), and ferries (except
the Manly Jetcat) for one day for only $13/$6.50 (adult/child).
Compare this to say a return ticket during peak hour from say Sydney to
Parramatta ~ $8, and you'll find its a lot better value.
There are facier tickets available, check the cityrail website for more info.

If you're taking private transport - uhmm watch out for Sydney Drivers,
they'll keep you alert if not anything else. ;-) And remember that for most
of our tollroads, once you're on, you can't get off until you've paid. The
M4 though does provide some exits.
Hope it helps
