Transport and Accommodation

TRANSPORT

By train: catch a train to Redfern station and then take a fifteen minute walk to the campus. All Sydney lines except East Hills/Airport stop at Redfern. Or take a train to Central Station, then catch a bus from Railway Square. Note: you should exit the platforms at Central from the southern end, then walk through the Devonshire Street tunnel to Railway Square. Disabled access is only available via the northern platform exits. 

By bus: From the west of the venue, catch the Parramatta Road routes 412, 413, 435, 436, 437, 438, 440, 461, or 480. From the south, use the City Road routes 422, 423, 426, or 428. From the east and north (CBD, Central Station, Haymarket, etc.), all of the routes above pick up at Railway Square.

By car: parking is available under the venue, the New Law Annex building, off Barff Road coming from City Road or Parramatta Road. Cost is $6 per day. (See attached map at bottom)

Sydney buses do not accept cash payments. Please note that by March 2016, the only paper tickets available will be single Adult and Concession tickets (trains, buses, ferries and light rail) and return Adult and Concession tickets (trains, ferries and light rail). Alternatively, you can purchase an Opal card which works on all modes of public transport.

The cost of a one-way bus trip within a 3km radius of the venue is $2.10 using an Opal card. A single ticket costs $2.40 for 1-2 sections (MyBus 1 ticket), and $3.80 for 3-5 sections (MyBus 2). 2 Sections is approximately 2.4km*.

It will be difficult to purchase bus tickets on Good Friday. Train tickets and Opal cards can be purchased at vending machines at most railway stations.

You can obtain timetables, other fare information, the location of ticket sellers, etc, from the Sydney transport info web site. Use the Transport category on our Contact page if you need any further assistance.

----------------------
* Each section of a bus route is one mile (1.6km) in length. The start of each section is a fixed location, so the price for your trip is not based on its length, but your starting and ending locations. In theory, you could travel only two stops but have travelled two sections. In reality, it's extremely unlikely that anyone would notice if you travelled up to 3km on a MyBus 1 ticket.
