Transfers to and from the Seminar venue and hotel will be provided.
The hotel is located approximately 10km from Sydney International Airport.
Transport:
Airport
to Hotel by Taxi.
We recommend that shinpan trainees take a taxi from the airport to the
hotel. The fare will be about A$25 ~ A$35 and takes up to 20 minutes.
If a taxi is shared with another, this option is also the cheapest and
quickest.
Airport to Hotel by Airport transfer bus.
The fare will be about A$10 to A$15 per person and could take up to 60
minutes. Take the bus from Bus Bay 6 at T1 International Terminal.
Airport to Hotel by Train.
You may take the train from the Airport station to Central Station (14
minutes) for A$13.00. The train station is located at the northern end
of T1 International Terminal and is accessible from the arrivals level.
After arriving at Central, either take the light-rail (street car / tram)A$4.00, or walk from
Central Station to the hotel, or catch a taxi. The combined cost for two
people may be around the same as a shared taxi from the airport and to
complete the journey could take more than 50 minutes.

Transfers between the Novotel Rockford Hotel and the Seminar venue
will be provided for Seminar instructors and shinpan trainees who stay
at that hotel.
