2009 Australian Championships
TRANSPORT
In general, players will be staying at the one venue all day. There are a few cases where inter-venue transport will be required during the day. We will arrange for travel by car in those cases.
Set out below are suggested ways to travel to the venues by public transport from the city. We recognise that people may not start in the city, and you may need to plan your own trips to the relevant train station or bus route, but the directions to the grounds from the train station or bus stop should still apply.
