The Wedding Website of Rachel Wilson and James Carter
For those looking to save on flights and fancy a road trip, we’ve got you covered. Here are three options based on the screenshot above—our guide to the best stops along the way. If you want to get there and back as quickly as possible, the most direct route from Brisbane to Goulburn takes just over 11 hours. For a more relaxed pace, try a two-day drive from Brisbane to Port Macquarie to Goulburn, with about six hours on the road each day. And if you’re up for discovering more of NSW, check out our favorite hotspots from the screenshot. You can cram this itinerary into just two days or stretch it out over six. Byron and Yamba need no introduction, then we recommend stopping by the Big Banana in Coffs Harbour, swinging through Sydney, and heading down to Gerringong to truly experience the South Coast. After that, enjoy a scenic drive through the Hunter Valley to Berry, and for cricket fans, don’t forget to stop by the Bradman Museum in Bowral.

Flight

Canberra Airport

Canberra is just over an hour from Goulburn. We recommend flying down on either Friday, October 24, or early Saturday, October 25, as the wedding will kick off at 3PM (buses leave Goulburn at 2pm). Bridal party must be there for Friday night. If you're attending the recovery on Sunday, a flight back that afternoon/evening or Monday would suit best. Note: Traveling through Sydney is an option, but it’s a 2.5-hour drive to Goulburn.

Rental Car

Canberra Airport

21 Terminal Circuit
Canberra Airport, ACT 2609, Australia
 

We recommend renting a car for transit between Canberra and your accommodation. This way, you'll have reliable transportation for your return to catch your departing flights, since there's no Uber service between Canberra and Goulburn. Carpool or share a van to cut costs—any car will do, no 4WD required.

Travel Note

Camping

If anyone wishes to save costs on accommodation you are more than welcome to camp, just flick James a message so we can accommodate and also take you off the bus list. You would need to bring all your own camping gear if you chose to do this.
