Directions to Quest Apartments
By Plane Canberra International
Airport is well served by flights from other Australian capital cities.
There are flights almost hourly to Sydney and frequent flights
to Melbourne. Other capitals may see only a morning and evening flights.
A flight from Sydney to Canberra only saves an hour or so over driving
from Sydney and for those who are not coming from an area close to Sydney
Airport, air travel offers only a marginal time saving. Flying time is
50 minutes from Sydney, 1 hour from Melbourne, 2 hours from Brisbane and Adelaide,
and 4 hours from Perth.
By Train NSW Countrylink [11] runs
services from Sydney to Canberra three times a day on Monday,
Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, and twice per day on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday. The trip takes just over 4 hours, which is slower than a bus
or driving, but the train takes a very scenic route through theSouthern
Highlands and the Molongolo Gorge, compared to an unexciting freeway
journey by road. The train arrives in Kingston on the south side of Canberra,
a pleasant 25-30 minute walk from the closest of the attractions on the
south side of Lake Burley Griffin. To get to Civic (the Canberra CBD)
on the northern side of the lake, however, will require further transport,
ACTION buses service the station to Civic every 15 minutes on weekdays
(routes 200 and 80) and less frequently on weekends (route 980).
By Bus All coaches to Canberra
stop at the Jolimont Centre, in the city centre and immediately across
the road from the Canberra local bus (ACTION) interchange. The burgers
at the Coach station are worth trying, for their sheer size.
By Car The drive from Sydney to
Canberra is 290 km and takes around three and a half hours from the Sydney
CBD, less from outer suburbs in Sydney. The road is dual-carriageway,
mostly freeway-like conditions from the Harbour Bridge all the way to
Canberra, mostly with a 110km/h speed limit, via the M5 Motorway, Hume
and Federal Highways.
Get Around
By Bus The inter-town routes
are frequent and reliable, especially during peak hour, but are often
crowded. Other services can be infrequent, particularly in the off-peak
and weekends. Check timetables carefully. If you need to change buses
to get somewhere, ask for a transfer ticket; it will let you
on to as many buses as you need within 90 min of getting on the first
bus. Tell the driver where you need to get to, and ask them what your
options are. Some buses snake through the suburbs and can take a while
to cover a relatively short distance while others may be more direct or
express services. To travel between the interchanges (Belconnen, Civic,
Woden and Tuggeranong), catch any bus in the 300 series (300, 312, 313,
314, 315, 318 or 319) as these are much faster than other buses. Note
that this service runs as 900 on weekends and public holidays. Buses do
not operate between midnight and 6 a.m. Monday to Saturday or after 7
p.m. on Sundays and public holidays.
By Car he default speed limit
on all roads in the ACT is 50km/h, unless signposted otherwise. Major
roads in the ACT will have 60-100km/h speed limits in 10km/h intervals.
There is little rhyme or reason regarding how a speed limit is set in
the ACT, with similar roads having vastly different speed limits. In some
situations, the same road will have a different speed limit for traffic
heading in oposite directions. Speed limit signs within the ACT tend to
be spiradic and intermittently placed. Several major limited access roads
like the Tuggeranong Parkway (between the City and the town centres of
Woden, Weston Creek and Tuggeranong) are 100km/h, though others are 80-90km/h.
