I get the impression that this is one of the major stops for people going to the Sunshine Coast, or…read moreat least going to the Australia Zoo. Look, it could be either, but the one time that I had been up along this route it seemed as if pretty much everybody got off the train here. The station itself is okay, not too bad, though not too flash either. Still, it does have some charm about it, and is also pretty convenient as well.

I booked and paid in advance for this company to take and collect me from Brisbane International…read moreAirport for a trip to Norfolk Island. The trip to the airport was non-eventful, however the flight back was cancelled due to very strong winds and rain, and the airline was unable to land on the island to collect passengers. As soon as I arrived at the Norfolk airport and passengers were notified of a possible later arrival in Brisbane of 5hrs difference (this call was several hours before my expected arrival time in Brisbane) I contacted the transfer company to let them know, and I indicated that I'd let them know of any further changes in ETA. I was told that they would charge me for the unused trip anyway, as their driver had chosen to "leave Bli Bli early" to collect me at the original ETA. Let me point out that the driver leaving base more than 2 hours earlier than was necessary was absolutely the driver's choice! Then, as the airline finally set a new ETA for the following day, this transfer company claimed that they were NOT available to collect me. As I live in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, I would have been totally stranded as no public transport reaches my address. So I had to use another transfer company, at an additional cost of $200....NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER!!! My interstate family members and friends have also used this company....but they will find a more reliable and professional alternative in future.

Garden City Busway is the biggest bus interchange on the south side of Brisbane - or maybe it's the…read moresecond biggest after the Cultural Centre. If you accidentally board the wrong bus on the south side, fear not. It will eventually stop at Garden City where you can turn around and find the correct bus. For city commuters, Bus 160, Bus 111 and the Logan Bus 555 will take about fifteen minutes from Garden City with only about five stops along the Busway. Bus 150 is relatively faster as it only stops once at Griffith before going straight through to Mater Hospital, South Bank, Cultural Centre and City. I've seen a lot of people get caught up by this one and shout at the bus driver for not stopping along the busway in between. Bus 156 Stretton Rocket is the fastest as it goes directly from Garden City to the City. There is a Park'n' Ride carpark at Garden City but unless you arrive before 7pm in the morning, it's pretty full up. Plus it's at the bottom of a hill so it's a steep trek to make it to the busway. I wouldn't test my luck driving around Garden City looking for a car park before 9am. There are often security guards out and a lot of the car parks are locked. If you do need to park your car, at the crest of Macgregor Street, cross over the bridge and there's usually some street parking available here.
