If you are coming by train from Sydney, the 11.23 from Central ‘Kiama via Wolli Creek‘ service will get you here in time to have a light lunch in our bar, or the 12.23 before the first speaker. Sit on the left for views of our stunning coastline. Alight at Wollongong for a short Taxi or Uber ride to Links Seaside. If driving, there is underground secure parking and/or availability in various surrounding streets.

NOTE: Please let me know if you are coming for lunch, and I will give numbers to the kitchen in advance. It will be something light served in the bar area, as my event will take up all the restaurant space.

I look forward to welcoming you to our “home”.
