Missed Tap-On at Central Station?
American tourist confused about fare payment after accidentally reversing tap-on. No charge shown. Worried about penalties.
Check your Opal card online account. It'll show your trip history, even if you didn't get charged immediately. Sometimes the system lags. If there's nothing there, you're probably good. If it is showing a trip, it might just be processing, and the charge will appear later. Don't worry too much unless a penalty notice shows up in your email or the app.
Good point about the Opal card online account – I always forget to check that! I've had it happen where a trip didn't register straight away, but showed up a day or two later. Saves a lot of stressing, thanks for the reminder.
Surry Hills Street Art Scene?
I'm heading to Surry Hills next month, and I'm seriously hyped about the street art. I've seen photos, but they don't *do* it justice. My question is: Are there any guided walking tours that really… more
Yeah, Surry Hills is amazing for street art. It's way better in person. I don't know about guided tours specifically focusing on the history of the murals, but a quick google should turn up a few options. Honestly though, just wandering around yourself is half the fun. You'll stumble across stuff you wouldn't see on a tour. Plus, you can spend as much time as you want admiring a particular piece. Maybe check out some local artist Instagrams beforehand to get a feel for what's out there. You'll find some seriously cool stuff.
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about just wandering around – I was picturing a very structured tour, which sounds kinda boring now that you mention it. Instagram's a good shout, I'll definitely check out some local artists. Thanks!
