Using just Google, I have found many filming locations of both seasons of
The Girl from Tomorrow.
You can download the corresponding KML file (for Google Earth)
from here.

Unfortunately, I haven't yet identified the garden from episode 1x01:
However, in the ending credits, one can notice
Swains Gardens, Gordon:
Therefore, this garden could be shot there. I haven't found any pictures from
Swains Gardens that could confirm this guess. Moreover, some other bush/garden places were shown in episode 1x01, and they look totally different so we have something to investigate here. It is also interesting that the garden we're talking about is actually called
Swain, not
Swains as shown in the credits.

The beginning of episode 1x02 was shot near the thermal power station and the railway:
I have found this location relatively easily just typing something like
power station Sydney in Google. This is
Pyrmont Power Station. Unfortunately, it was demolished in 1993, shortly after filming. This place has changed completely since then. Even the railway is not there anymore. In the old days, the place was quite
recognizable for
The Girl from Tomorrow fans.

After that, Alana ran, in my understanding, to
the Botany Industrial Park:
The white things are called
the Horton spheres. I identified the place using them.

The house where Jenny, Petey, and their mother Irene lived is 88 Cavendish St, Stanmore NSW 2048:

Pictures from inside (!)
On the ground floor, they had
Kelly Deli. The upper floor was residential.
I have found this house using the home address written on a cricket bat:
It is unbelievable but the house at
8 Merchant St, Stanmore NSW 2048 is just 60 m away from Jenny's!
Currently, the ground floor of this house is occupied by
Maru Maru Pet Services. As it follows from their
website and
Facebook page, it is a pet grooming salon. By the way, I once saw a comment on their Facebook page that
The Girl from Tomorrow had been shot in their house. The comment even had a link to a YouTube video. The owner of
Maru Maru Pet Services herself responded to this comment, expressing her surprise (something like "Wow! Our house was on TV!"). Obviously, at the time of filming there was something completely different in the house, otherwise the owner would have known about the series anyway.
Jeremy Scrivener, who played Nik in season 2, and some fans of
The Girl from Tomorrow took a picture in front of this house not so long ago:

This is another place where Alana was walking:
I'm not sure but it seems to be shot at Trafalgar St, Stanmore:

Shortly after that, Alana went around the corner and saw that:
Now there is nothing like that in that place. Maybe they just rebuilt everything. Or it was filmed somewhere else.
***
I identified the subway, where Alana withdrew cash from an ATM, from this:
This is Stanmore railway station.

There was a more significant hint: just before this moment, the airplane flew quite low. Therefore, the search was limited to railway stations in relative proximity to Sydney Airport. There are not so many of them.
***
A fruit stand was just next to this station:

A tip, where the Time Capsule turned out to be, is obviously not far away from Sydney Airport:
Currently, this stinking tip fortunately doesn't exist there. I think once this tip was around here:
-33.925071° 151.172395°. There is a container terminal and a railway just there, and they were located just next to the tip in
The Girl from Tomorrow.

The school that Jenny went to is the same as in
Spellbinder!
Today, it is the Blackwattle Bay Campus of the Sydney Secondary College.

Alana and Silverthorn were talking at a wonderful place (
-33.861176° 151.220949°), in
The Domain:
***
And this is where Silverthorn opened his office of
Futures Inc.:

Google Street View
The address is 59 Buckingham St, Surry Hills NSW 2010. I identified this place using the street name plate nearby (Pembroke St.).

Chisholm House, where Alana was kept, is actually a part of
the Thomas Walker Convalescent Hospital Buildings:

And this is where Silverthorn lived:
I identified it using the high bridge on the background. The house is called Clifton mansion. It was built in 1880. It has been used as a filming location for some movies and shows.
The address is 7 Woolwich Rd, Hunters Hill, NSW 2110.

The house is located at some distance from the road so it can't be seen from Google Street View. The impressive fence and the gorgeous road gate shown in
The Girl from Tomorrow were filmed somewhere else.

The American warship in the harbour played a significant role in season 2:
In fact, it is a museum ship, HMAS
Vampire. She has practically nothing to do with the USA. Previously, until 1986, she served in
the Royal Australian Navy, and then became an exhibit at
the Australian National Maritime Museum. Tourists can visit this ship today. She is located in the Darling Harbor area, not so far from the center of Sydney.

And this is where Jenny and others were almost caught by a policeman:

Since then, everything has changed there, but the place is very recognizable.

One more location:
-33.867053° 151.196098° |
Google Street View
It is in the same area, and again, much has changed there.
***
Finally, this is the building of
Globecorp (or of
Global & Interstellar Research nowadays):
Nothing could be easier than finding a skyscraper in Sydney. The address is 66-74 Clarence St, Sydney NSW 2000.

It is interesting that the upper part of this building was simply drawn in
The Girl from Tomorrow so that it seemed higher.

That seems to be all my findings. I was lucky to find all the main locations, and even some minor ones. If someone finds anything else and posts here, I will be very happy!
