Our Train Ride to Wollongong

Driving in Sydney on a weekend can be a trial, but working from home means that hook or crook, I need to venture out of the house every now and again. The solution is a train ride...

Novem on Bus 1
The bus stop is a 5 minute walk to Victoria road, and they leave every 5 minutes or so. It is pretty easy to get to Parramatta where there are 4 platforms to take you to the destination of your choice.

A quick bite for lunch after our hour long train ride down the coast. There are plenty of places we could eat, but we opt for the easy option of food court swill, so we can get to the beach quicker. This trip was about the train ride, not gourmet dining.
