It's quite far, about a two-hour drive from Sydney's city center, but there is train service available. We thought taking the train would be too troublesome, so we joined a day tour instead. Along the way, we visited a small zoo that features many animals unique to Oceania. We even got to feed kangaroos, which was quite nice.
