How to get from garden to garden

Many people walk between the gardens. If you don't want to walk, there is a trolley shuttle which meets incoming trains at Leura railway station up to 1 pm daily. Departures depend on arrival of Sydney trains. The shuttle circles gardens on a hop on/hop off basis, returning to the station. During busy times a volunteer-driven minibus also helps visitors holding shuttle tickets to move between gardens more quickly. An all-day shuttle ticket costs $5.00 pp.

The last trolley shuttle leaves garden No.2 at 3.50 pm and proceeds to all gardens, leaving Everglades at 4.05pm, ending at Leura railway station to catch the Sydney train at 4.24pm, weekends 4.28pm
