Circular Quay: The Heartbeat of Sydney

Getting There

• Car

  From anywhere in Western New South Wales, make your way to the nearest major highway leading to Sydney, such as the Hume Highway (M31). Follow the signs for Sydney and continue until you reach the outskirts of the city. Once you approach Sydney, take the exit for the City Centre. Follow the signs for Circular Quay. As you enter the city, you will navigate through several traffic lights; continue straight until you reach Circular Quay. There are paid parking options available nearby, which typically cost around AUD 20-40 per day, depending on the location.

• Train

  If you prefer public transportation, head to the nearest train station in Western New South Wales. Purchase a ticket to Circular Quay Station, which is on the T2, T3, T4, T8 and Central Coast & Newcastle Line. The journey will require a transfer at Central Station if you are on a line that does not go directly to Circular Quay. Once you arrive at Circular Quay Station, follow the signs to exit the station directly onto the waterfront of Circular Quay.

• Bus

  Check the local bus services in your area for routes heading to Sydney. Many regional towns have direct buses to Sydney. If you are coming from a town like Dubbo or Bathurst, look for a coach service such as Greyhound or CountryLink that will take you to the Sydney CBD. Once you arrive at Sydney's Central Station, transfer to a train or light rail that goes to Circular Quay. The bus fare will vary depending on the distance but expect to pay around AUD 30-50 for a one-way trip.
