Crown Institute of Business and Technology is located in Northern part of Sydney central and very close to North Sydney railway station. North Sydney has a large number of cafes, restaurants, pubs, club and nightclubs. The most significant place of interest is the museum at Mary MacKillop Place, which tells the story of Australia’s first and only Catholic Saint.
One of the most popular places for business people and students in the area is in one of North Sydney’s prettiest old sandstone buildings, The Greenwood. The Greenwood was once a boy’s high school teaching technical subjects. Its vaulted ceiling halls now house bars and a good restaurant. It forms part of the attractive Greenwood Plaza shopping complex which is directly opposite North Sydney railway station, with direct underground access to CIBT.
If you are staying in the area, Greenwood Plaza is a good place to shop for essentials as well as boutique lines. It has a good delicatessen and a fish shop with fresh, quality seafood. The North Sydney area has a few good hotels which provide an alternative to Sydney city accommodation, particularly if the visitor has business to do in the area.
It has a frequent train service to the city, and plentiful buses. Taxis between the two cost $12 to $15.
North Sydney is surrounded by some of the prettiest harbourside suburbs – Kirribilli, Milsons Point and McMahon’s Point, each of which has a village atmosphere and is fun to visit. All three have beautiful views across the harbour to the city.
Overall, North Sydney is a very attractive location with impressive homes, leafy streets and plenty of goods views of Sydney Harbour. One should feel lucky to be studying around here.
