 NASA VISIBLE EARTH |
Throughout the year, we welcome personal callers from all over the world, but please note we do not keep normal business hours: Please contact us well ahead to make an appointment, so your trip is not in vain and we can entertain you properly.
Our large, modern factory showroom is on the edge of an industrial estate in suburban Peakhurst, within a stone’s throw of the vast tract of George’s River bushland about half an hour south of the famous Opera House on Sydney Harbour.
The directions on this page should make it easy for you to find our premises no matter how you are traveling.
Public
Transport
By public transport from the centre of Sydney, take a train on the Illawarra (Blue) line to Mortdale.
This line begins in the east at Bondi Junction and passes through Kings Cross
before heading south at Central. You can most easily catch this train from
either platform 25 at Central, or platform 4 at Town Hall: Make sure the
indicator light is lit against “Mortdale” to signify the train
will stop there
A pleasant twenty-minute walk from Mortdale station will bring you to our shop—please use the map below. Or you can catch a number 944 bus to Punchbowl and alight at the golf course roundabout. Follow Lorraine Street to the right, and when you reach the small park our shop is in the industrial complex opposite. Taxis are also readily available at the station if you prefer, and will cost about $8—the buses only depart every half hour or so, and in the warmer weather of summer the walk is only for the fit.
Airport arrivals
For travelers arriving from the airport, a taxi is best. The trip takes at
least 15 or 20 minutes and costs from $35 to $60 depending on the terminal
and the traffic conditions which vary according to time of day. There is
a rail link from Domestic and International Terminals: You can purchase
a ticket to Mortdale, but check the platform indicators because you probably
need to change trains at Wolli Creek station.
Driving from the North Shore
Take the Harbour Tunnel and continue on the M2 as detailed below from the
CBD.
Driving from the CBD
Enter the M2 off Macquarie Street, two blocks south of the Opera House. There
is no toll outbound. Follow the signs to Rockdale, past the airport and
under the runway tunnel. Immediately after the runway tunnel, take the M5
exit left off General Holmes Drive. Continue westward, and take the last
exit before the toll, Route 3, King Georges Road. Turn left, and continue
past the big palm trees in the Beverley Hills shopping area, and then turn
right into Stoney Creek Road. This is signposted to Peakhurst. Stoney Creek
Road joins Forest Road where you should turn right. The next set of lights
is Boundary Road where you turn left.
Driving from Canberra or the Southern Highlands
Follow the Hume Highway but when the freeway ends, continue on the M5 toll
road ($3.80). Take the Belmore Road exit which is signposted to Peakhurst.
Turn immediately right at the exit lights, then take the next set of lights
left at Hannan’s Road. Next lights right is Bonds Road, which will
take you under the railway line and its two roundabouts. Veer left opposite
the service station at the next roundabout. Cross the six lanes of Forest
Road and you are now traveling south east on Boundary Road.
Driving from Wollongong or the South Coast
Soon after the Princes Highway crosses the Georges River at Tom Ugly’s
Bridge, continue straight ahead on King Georges Road through Blakehurst and
South Hurstville, eventually turning left at Forest Road. After the Y-intersection
with Stoney Creek Road, take the next lights left into Boundary Road.
Driving from the Blue Mountains, Parramatta or the Hills District
Take James Ruse Drive and Silverwater Road, bypassing Bankstown. Don’t
miss the Hurstville exit which will drop you onto Henry Lawson Drive just
before Salt Pan Creek. Turn left into Henry Lawson Drive, which changes to
Forest Road after a few sets of lights. Turn right at the lights into Boundary
Road, and you are almost there.
The last section, from Boundary Road
Take the next lights right at Stanley Street, which changes into Lorraine
Street at the dogleg. Enter the complex of 17 Lorraine Street at the letterboxes.
There is plenty of off-street parking. To park at our front door, turn right
at the letterboxes as soon as you enter the complex. If you have arranged to drop
off an instrument for repair, please drive straight ahead instead, and reverse
park at our back door for easier access to the workshop.
