Transport
If you are flying into Sydney from overseas or another city in Australia there are several options for travel to Wollongong. I have provided the web addresses for each service so that you can make a choice.
Hire a car
You may wish to hire a car and drive yourself to Wollongong which will take about 50 minutes, depending on the traffic. You can pre-book a car through the following:
Minibus and limousine service
You may prefer to let someone else do the driving and pre-book a car (cost: approx $AUD160) or the minibus (cost: approx. $AUD50)that could meet you and drive you directly to your hotel.
Limousine Services from Sydney airport to Wollongong.

Another public transport option is using the rail system. There is a station at the international and domestic terminals. You will need to travel to Central Station to catch a train from Central to Wollongong (Domestic $AUD14.40 & International $AUD14.80). As there is no set platform from which trains depart, you will need to check the monitors on your arrival at Central station. The cost is $AUD9.60 one way.
