Buckle Up, Buttercup: Choosing Your Griffith Chariot
1. Taking Flight: Feel the need for speed? Flying is your best bet. Clocking in at under 3 hours, you'll be sipping on a local shiraz at a winery before you can say "cattle dog." Just remember, those carry-on wine restrictions are a real thing (so maybe pack light and buy a few bottles at the airport duty-free).
2. Hitting the Road, Jack: Got a car and a sense of adventure? The road trip beckons! This scenic route (think rolling hills and endless sky) takes about 7 hours, but with a playlist full of your favourite tunes and a stop or two for country pub grub, it'll be a breeze. Bonus points for spotting some roos along the way!
3. The Great Train Escape: Fancy a more relaxing journey? All aboard the NSW TrainLink! This option takes a little longer (around 9 hours), but it's a great way to kick back, crack open a good book, and watch the countryside roll by. Plus, there's something undeniably romantic about train travel, don't you think?
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
4. Bus Stop to Paradise: Looking for a budget-friendly option? The bus might be your answer. With tickets starting at a steal, you can save some cash for all those winery tours you've been dreaming of. Just be prepared to settle in for a comfy journey (think snacks, a good book, and maybe a sleep mask).
Remember: No matter which option you choose, booking in advance is always a good idea, especially during peak season.
