Transport to Public Program & Retreat Venue
Tallebudgera Recreation Centre is located right on the beach at Palm Beach, on the Gold Coast, Queensland. It is Amma’s only beach retreat in the world and will provide an ideal atmosphere for the first retreat of the 2010 Australian tour. The centre is less than 10 minutes drive from Coolangatta airport, 1 hour from Brisbane and 1 hour from Byron Bay.
There are several alternate ways to reach the retreat site from the Brisbane International or Domestic Airport. Perhaps the easiest is to catch the train from the airport to Robina station on the Gold Coast, then a taxi (or public bus) to the retreat site at Tallebudgera.
Or alternatively, you may opt to take a private “door-to-door” bus service. These busses operate from the Airport and deliver you directly to your accommodation.
For all information on public transport services (train or public bus) ring Translink on 13 12 30 or visit their website www.translink.qld.gov.au
