Take the car part way. Ride a bike part way. Walk part way.

I think I will be taking a trip to Homebush to take a look.

Public transport train, bus or ferry maybe Pat could pick you up too or go with someone else let them worry about the parking share the cost.

There's a train every 10 mins out of Lidcombe

what you really need to worry about is a footy match -- the whole area including over in Concord West will become restricted parking.

all confirmed now - mark your diary!!

The theme of the show this year is Come, Try and Learn - this came about after requests from visitors wanted the shows to be more interactive.

we are in for a lively show.

does the Sydney T&WW count as a "major event" at Homebush.
I.e. does the show entry price have to include the cost of public transport to and from Homebush ?

Ian Footy matches are planned and I think I linked to them earlier in the thread, so major event parking will be in place I guess.

I think that major event parking is only in place for the day that there's a game at ANZ stadium.

For the weekend of 27 – 29 July, it looks as though the Swans are playing on the Gold Coast and Western Sydney is at the Showground. So no clash with the AFL?

Can someone tell me why the NRL won't say when its matches are being played after Round 7 in mid-April?
I can't even work out if the last weekend in July is Round 17, 18 or 19 !


But the other issue should the wood show be deemed a "Major Event" is parking restrictions would be in place on the days ANZ stadium was not being used, BUT the benefit for those not driving to Homebush is for a "major event" the ticket price includes public transport to and from

I just saw the programme in AW. Gee, Neil, business must be crook - can't you give 'em a pic where you look a bit happier. You're not a grumpy bloke. Never mind, I'll still come and say g'day.

Pac man has provided the link to the timetables and travel time estimates

But briefly, it's two trains
Gordon to Lidcombe via Central -- travel time ~ 56 minutes
Lidcombe to Olympic Park -- travel time ~ 5 mins, train every 10 mins
The fare varies upon when you leave Gordon -- too early on Friday and you'll be paying the peak fare. Get your niece to find out the which train is the first on which you can travel off peak.

Off peak is $8.80
Adult return is $12.80
