in my experience, if you are going to stay somewhere average it may as well be cheap too. I've not been impressed with travelodges although I haven't stayed in the blacktown one.

Try the Ibis at Sydney Olympic Park its new cheap and close (1 freeway)

Thanks for the advice Duncan. The Ibis does look better, but it is $75 more expensive for the night. Just paid for accomm in Melb & it looked pretty good for $119. In Sydney I might have to lower my expectations or spend more money, lol.

Great advice Alex. For everyone else, my car is crap & not worth stealing, and it will be at the Sydney Hilton.:whistling:

nope, aboriginals. they used to ship them out there to keep them out of the rest of sydney, from memory.

Last time I was there it seems like there was mostly filo's there?

Then again I think its pretty much everyone there...

I'd rather be in Blacktown then Bankstown...:ph34r:

Chifely Eastern Creek Motel; http://www.discoveraustralia.com.au/hotels/chifley-eastern-creek-motel-sydney-24491.html

Only ten odd mins from Slacktown? $113 for two; you said you were travelling with your son?

Caravan Park in Slacktown? http://www.takeabrea...ccomodation.htm

It's right near the correctional centre, so at least you'll know where to start looking when your car/wallet/son goes missing...:whistling:

Never even bothered looking for accomodation in this part of the world before now.:rolleyes:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Leon, that part of Blacktown isn't too bad, but TSI is on the other side of Blacktown, ant it's a surprisingly big area covered by just that suburb. The hotel is close to Eastern Creek on the south side, but TSI is on the north side.

Dale's suggestion of Hotel Formule 1 is probably a decent option, except for their reputation - no idea if it's still as bad as it apparently was (I've never personally stayed there). There are a few other options, if you want more info let me (or us) know, and we can ty and find something a bit closer.

None of mine are personal recommendations; just throwing around some budget options that weren't too hard to access.

The F1 was $60ish per night, so I wouldn't expect the Hilton.

More ideas welcome.

Thanks guys, especially Dale, for being so helpful. The biggest problem is most places had no vacancy on the Sat nite due to the long weekend holiday.

But I've made my booking (not the caravan park as I didn't like the idea of the correctional facility being so close :mellow:) so we can move on now to something more interesting, lol.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
