Public Transport Bus: There are several bus stops along Heysen Dr. Stop 54A Heysen Dr - West side and Stop 54A Heysen Dr - East side are the closest, with a 550m walking distance to TPNC. Only bus route 682 stops at these two stops. Taxi: Drop-off point for taxis is right in front of the TPNC main building, next to the accessible parking spaces. Train: The closest train station, Hallett Cove Beach, is 5km away from TPNC and not ideal for walking. You can take SEAFORD or NOARLUNGA line, get off at Hallett Cove Beach station, and then take bus 682 to Stop 54A Heysen Dr - east side. The surrounding area is very hilly, so walking from the bus stops may take longer than usual.
