It was a tale of two Sydneys.

A New York man’s dreams of an idyllic Australian getaway crashed and burned spectacularly after a gross misunderstanding resulted in him flying to Montana instead.

“I saw the little plane with like 9 passengers and wondered ‘how is that going to get me to Australia.’” Kingsley Burnett, 62, told The Post. “That was when I caught onto the mistake I made.”

The New Yorker, who originally hails from Jamaica, had reportedly planned on flying from La Guardia to Australia, where he was slated to take a cruise departing from the warm Down Under metropolis of Sydney, KTVQ reported.

He realized things had gone horribly awry when he landed in Billings and saw snow and a small Cape Air Jet waiting to fly him to Sidney, Montana.
