From the airport, a convenient and relatively inexpensive way to reach your hotel or the conference venue is by taxi (about $25–30).
By train is cheaper. You have to take the Airport line train (direction City/Central Station) and then change at Central for buses. Alternatively, you may take the Airport line train and then take the East Hills lne train to Redfern (direction Waterfall/Cronulla/Sutherland). The conference venue is about 15-20 minutes on foot from Redfern Station (there is no bus stand or taxi stand there).
