Getting to UNSW Canberra
Please note that the conference attendees will need to arrange their own transport from CBD to UNSW
Canberra (located inside Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA), Northcott Drive) and back for the
workshop on 05 February 2016. Following are some of the options:
Cab/Drive: The campus is located approximately 5.5km from the CBD, about 10 mins. drive. There are several
routes, a common one being Cooyong St.  Ainslie Av. Limestone Av. Fairbarn Av.  Northcott Dr.
Cabs could be booked by calling 132227, online at https://www.canberraelite.com.au/ or hailed directly on
streets (typically they’re easily available in the city). They’ll cost approximately 20 AUD one way.
Public buses: ACTION buses are a convenient alternative to get to UNSW Canberra/ADFA from the city. Bus
number 10 leaves from Platform 9 in the city interchange and takes the shortest route (approx. 11 minutes),
~4 AUD one way. A snapshot of the schedule is given below, with most convenient times highlighted. The bus
stops other than interchanges are signal bus-stops, so make sure to either signal before the stop or request
the driver while getting on-board to let you know when you’ve reached ADFA.
