Salam Aleykoum My Brothers ans Sisters,

I'm sorry in advance but i dont speak english very well.

Im Sofiane, I come from France, and i will be to Sydney the 23th february for 1 year insh'Allah to learn english.

I'm alone, i know nobody in this country. I would like continue to learn our religion Islam, it's the more important for me. I'd like also, why not; to meet brothers and sisters.

I wish you the best

Wow, so you're going to be in Sydney after tomorrow. Don't worry, French Language is close to the English language and mashAllah you spoke well in your above post, so don't be stressed.

InshAllah all goes well with you. What area will you be staying in Sydney?

Alhamdulilah for your safe arrival to Sydney brother.

Like sis Islam MyDeen mentioned, I think there is about 2-3 money transfer places in Lakemba. But it all depends on what area/place you are living in. If you don't mind me asking, what place are you staying in? (so that we can inshAllah help you find a place to transfer your money)

Bro I think the fastest and easiest way to get here by public transport is to catch a train from your nearest station to Lakemba station. Once you get off at Lakemba station shops will immediately be in your face. All you have to do is walk up abit and there you will find the most popular street in Lakemba, in my opinon. It is called Haldon Street. There are many stores/shops, food outlets and the money transfer places that you need.

Hope that helps. By the way, don't forget to ask people for directions along your way if you are lost.

May Allah swt be with you. I wouldn't want to be in your position. Kheir inshAllah.

No need to thank me, we are all here to help our Muslim brothers and sisters to the best of our ability :-)

Salam Aleykoum,

BarakAllah oufikoum for your description. It was very easy to find it thanks to your help.
I went to Lakemba! it is a nice place with brothers and sisters MashAllah. I could to eat HAlal also. Because in Sydney city this is more difficult.

i couldn't change money because the wasnt interesting. I just found one money exchange. But that's Ok !

Im never alone, Allah (swt) is with Us

Wa iyakom bro. Glad you found your way around.

Why weren't you able to change your money?

Kheir inshAllah. Hopefully you've found a good place to transfer your money in.

Ofcourse Lakemba is a nice place. I love it. But subhanAllah forgot to tell you that you could of visited one of the most well-known mosques in Australia, Lakemba Mosque. Kheir. If you happen to want to stop by at Lakemba again and want to visit the mosque and need directions, don't be shy to ask.

Can you tell me which hour is dohr salat joomra this wednedsay??? i would like to go ! Jumah prayer is at 1.10 pm on the wednesday thats coming up (10th of March)..

You need around 10-15 mins to walk to the mosque from the station so take that into consideration when organising what time you want to leave home..

Hi Amine!

I am a newbie as well, so I can understand if you feel very overwhlmed beign here at the moment!. I have only been in sydney for 3 weeks but this is what I learnt.

Open up a bank account at Westpac
Open up a BT superfund.
Apply for TFN
Money exchance should be all around the central area. But if you want to tour around- you can go to Parrmatta and there is a money exchange there.
Mobiles- The competitors are Optus and Vodafone. I am with optus but I am looking at other options!. Hope this helps:)

Many thanks
