Never tried it but I'd imagine there is some shops selling simcards at the airport.

Yes, you can get them at the airport - Vodafone, certainly. Same price as city outlets, I would think.

Dear Naufil,
I dont think u would be needing any SIMS at your arrival on the sydney airport. U can get out of the airport and get a good deal from any shopping centre. I tried optus and it works fine for me. Try to get a package that gives u most freedom in terms of free minutes and free sms. Good luck. BTW I just moved to Sydney on newyears morning and bet i could have played cricket on the road.....so little traffic....good luck be with u.....

You've got three main national carriers, Telstra, Optus and Vodaphone and they have coverage in about that order.
There's a lot of secondary piggyback companies like Virgin who use Optus and http://www.revtel.com.au/ and www.dodo.com.au who have interesting packages piggying on Voda.
3 as far as I know only does some of the capitals and it really depends on whether you want the latest whiz bang gizzmos or just a plain old phone that rings.
Good idea to think about what you want to do with it and then look at packages that have the features you want.
