Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

[Jacques Vert]

Perhaps take the free Skygate shuttle to International, check out the nearby Kingsford Smith memorial and then walk to Domestic?

Actually it was the walk from the DFO to International that was the worst bit: that's where the mozzies got me.

For BNE DFO to int/dom, I would get the free bus.

Sure; but I was keen on getting some exercise.. I'll just walk around the terminal lounge next time.

However, I made the mistake of trying this in BNE a couple of years ago: decided to walk from the DFO to domestic for an early morning flight. Started off well until I walked past the small lake/pond where I was attacked by ferocious mosquitos and later ran out of footpath, so I had to drag my bag over the unmade terrain. Then as the sun rose higher the temperature started to climb and I arrived at the terminal in a lather of sweat. Even the guy on security questioned why my shirt was sopping wet. Never again.

Yes, in a similar vein, one sunny afternoon I set out to walk from CNS to the highway to catch a bus, and it was quite a hot day. No major dramas, but it would have been nice if it was a bit cooler.

Anyway, halfway into my odyssey, a kind passing motorist perhaps felt that I might have been rather stressed (which I wasn't), and stopped to offer me a lift into town. As he seemed to be quite genuine, I accepted and got dropped off close to my hotel. The gods must have looking after me that day...

Very best of luck, ehe, I would still have taken (take) the shuttle bus, personally.

Thanks, but I was under the impression that the shuttle bus was no more. Otherwise it's the obvious choice.

In any case, I quite like to walk from airports to my off-airport accommodation (or bus stop) when it's reasonably doable, eg SYD, OOL, DRW, PSA, DMK, CNX, MNL, TRG, BLK (sadly deceased), to name but a few.
