Sydney-Canberra Surface Transport
There are, of course, a good number of direct buses and trains
operating between Sydney and canberra. Both these modes of
travel take about 4 hours (Downtown Sydney to Downtown Canberra).
This compares with 45 mins by plane not including time to get to
the airport.
Surface transport is very much cheaper that air travel (tens of
dollars instead of hundreds of dollars
Both buses and trains can be caught at Central Railway Station
in Sydney.
