If travelling from Melbourne (Tullamarine) Airport, there are several options.

  • Catch bus into Southern Cross Station & catch the relevant train from there.
  • Book a seat on Bendigo Airport bus (03) 5439 4044 (leaves 8:30; 11:00; 13:30; & 18:00 arriving at Woodend 9:15; 11:45; 14:15 & 18:45). However the bus to Daylesford leaves 9:05 and 18:10. These options give you a fair wait in Woodend, but it is a lovely little town in which you can spend some time. The library has free internet.
  • The airport shuttle bus to Ballarat can also drop you off at Ballan, but you need to ring (03) 5333 4181 to check the timetable. The train & bus station at Ballarat is very close to the old part of the city & worth spending a few hours exploring while waiting to catch a connecting bus to Daylesford.

When planning to leave the farm, there are 2 buses passing Dolphins Road each day; one at around 7:40 am, getting you to Woodend at 8:20 am to connect with either a train to Melbourne or further north along the Bendigo line; or the 17:10 bus from Daylesford passes Dolphins Road around 17:15, getting you to Woodend at 17:55.

Many of our WWOOFers have found hitching a ride into & out of Daylesford very easy as our neighbours enjoy picking them up & having a chat. Or the 8 km walk along the disused railway line is another option for getting one around. We also have a couple of bikes.

For connections further afield: www.railmap.com.au is recommended as a better site for planning your journey (including buses) than V Line. Best to double check the above info before making a booking.
