Phew - thanks for the info. I feel less worried now. 
 
  I'll be stopping here : 
http://www.theempirehotel.com/main.htm about 8 kms from the airport so I guess i'll just get a taxi from there ? 
 I'm only there overnight on the way out and I guess will be pretty tired and then fly onward to Oz next afternoon. 
 Just gotta renew the little ones passport now and get me visa - I'm so excited
