   Sydney is *nowhere* near the Great Barrier Reef! If you’re prepared to drive for nearly two-and-a-half days, then perhaps you could drive to a location near the Great Barrier Reef…
   Having said that, there are some great diving spots around Sydney, and there are many dive schools within Sydney who can show you where you can go diving around Sydney.

   There is good scuba and snorkel diving in Sydney but it is not coral reef stuff. Try Googling “scuba in Sydney” and see what comes up.

   NO.
   The Great Barrier Reef is off the coast of Queensland.
   Considering Brisbane (the capital of the state of Queensland) is over 1000 km (620 miles) from Sydney, and then nearly the same distance yet again to get to anywhere decent to the Great Barrier Reef, I would say… NO – you won’t be within driving distance.

   From Sydney, the best way to get to the Great Barrier Reef, would be to fly to Queensland (maybe Cairns, or anywhere in that area). That is a good 2 hour flight! So, by land that would take ages! You could take the train, but that would be an overnight train! There are lots of good airfare deals on the web. Try Virgin Blue or Jetstar!
