We got a cab organised by TW who took us to terminal 3 but our itinerary said terminal 2. So he called someone and we called the office who checked with the travel lady and they all said terminal 3 was right. So we got out, went in, found information and were informed we needed to be at terminal 2. Then the office called and apologised for not actually checking when we asked where we should go, and that we needed to be at terminal 2. Mmmmmmm, thanks a bunch. So fighting through the crowds of people who always try to get in elevators, trains etc. before letting anyone off we made our way to the other terminal. When checking in we ran into two American girls who were flabbergasted that Aus is 14 hours away from china as well as the US. Some people really have no idea about geography.
Upon our arrival in Sydney we discovered that the customs and baggage handling staff were both on strike but they were nice enough to let us know they "regret the delays we were experiencing". Not enough to actually not strike though.
Having slept for somewhere between 5 and 11 minutes on the flight, I was not quite ready to deal with this but we managed to get out having only lost about 45 minutes. We then travelled to the other terminal on a bus which took us all the way around the airport (past an airbus a380) that seemed to be stretching, but we made our flight :)
Then another flight to Canberra and I slept the whole way!! Totally exhausted but we made it back.
