****Directions to the site****

OPTION 1: From the Airport

1) From the airport - Catch a Jetbus (J1 North, J2 North, J3 North) to Paradise bus interchange. These go every 15 minutes. Jet bus will cost $4.10 (duration 40 minutes).

2) Then, from Paradise Interchange get a 178 bus to NEWTON SHOPPING CENTRE (duration 10 minutes). Use the same bus ticket, they are good for unlimited use over a 2 hour period.

3) Arrange or call the site and kind person to pick you up. NOTE: There is NO MOBILE RECEPTION on the site (potentially swish 3G phones may work), so you should arrange this pick-up earlier than the day! Or ring our home phone number 8390 2109 in the hope there might be someone there...which there probably wont be. If you call us or message us your Estimated Time of Arrival at the bus stop we can make a pick up list, and we will make sure there is someone to meet you at the bus stop.

Alternatively, if youre feeling flush with $$$$$

3) Catch a taxi from Paradise to Institute Road just off Montacute Rd. Get out at the old building (Montacute Institute) 300m down the road. Probably $20. look for the signs.

OPTION 2: From the city

1) On King William street - bus stops W1, Y1 or on North Terrace F2, G3, I2. Catch either the 178 or 179 (check http://www.adelaidemetro.com.au/ttsearch.php?action=search&searchtext=178&js=1 then choose 178 and click on complete timetable) for bus time. Generally during weekdays they are every half an hour, and after 7pm and weekends they are every hour.

2) Get off at bus stop 26 on Montacute Road (Big ugly shopping centre development = NEWTON SHOPPING CENTRE) if you need a public telephone go into the centre or if you need some food, theres two supermarkets there. You can ring a kind person or can catch a taxi from there, would probably cost you maybe $10-15max. Its only 5.5ks fit people with light loads might consider walking it.

Option 3: From the bottom of the SE Freeway

1) Turn right onto Port Rush rd.

2) Turn right onto Payneham rd.

3) At the Glynde hotel intersecton (first major intersection) choose the slightly right option (do not turn hard right, or veer left). You may miss this turn if you arent driving in the right hand lane, as it's just after a crest in the road.

4) Continue straight up the road into the hills (pick up stray twirlys on the way :))

5) After 4ks or so the road starts to climb up the left side of the valley and it gets a bit rural (fields, orchards, etc). Look for Institute rd on the right.

6) Turn right down Institute Rd. 400m down look for the Common Ground parking signs.
