Easiest way to Randwick Race Course? (1 Viewer)

[shinji]

Hey, was just wondering what the easiest way to randwick race course is for our midsessions via public transport and if needed, walking. lol.


I'm guessing that 891 bus + walking is the best way?
Any other alternative way to get there?

 

[velox]

Get a 39X bus i think. Or 891 and walk if you can be bothered. I like walking as it calms me down. Like walking to central after final exams from the racecourse lol.

 

[jemsta]

lol a central from racecourse walk is a long walk indeed
unless you celebrate the end of sexams by walking such a fair distance

 

[stephenchow]

Isnt there only one entrance and i.e. where 891 stops?

 

[velox]

nope its at other end

 

[Jago]

There are buses from eddy avenue

There are buses from eddy avenue

which ones in particular? lol.

i heard it was the 37x buses?

 

[Raginsheep]

Note, you cannot enter via the entrances on high st.

 

[fantasy27]

you can catch a few buses from eddy ave, i remember that 372 gets you to randwick, its midsems, just get off that bus when every other student gets off, follow the crowd

[Cathtastrophe]

The one where the horses are?

 

[Rekkusu]

That's right. The one with the big gate with a nice Marble sign saying Randwick Jockey Club. You can't enter through there.

Here's what might jog up your memory, if you've taken the 891 (UNSW to Central) on High Street outside the Faculty of Medicine, you know how it takes the route of firstly, turning right into a street, then at the end turning left out into the main street. If you've looked to your left, you'll see the massive Racecourse Stands - That's where your exams will be held.

The 891 would've also passed the Randwick Racecourse Main Entrance.


The most ideal way is to take the 372s, ask the driver when in doubt. If you're lucky, Sydney Buses also runs a specific "Randwick Racecourse Exam" bus, hop on those, and they stop real close to the Randwick Racecourse.

Is there a secret elf dungeon in there?

EDIT: And is there a bus that takes you back to central?

 

[Casmira]

the 372 or 374 takes you too racecourse, via unsw you can get there by walking up anzac pde and turn on doncaster aventue then turn right.... or if uve walked past doncaster avenue, walk up too alison road and walk down 2 minutes.

here's a map, all that green/circle is proper entrance for racecourse

376 also goes to the racecourse.

Lol, its just Randwick Racecourse trying to protect their grass, and precious Horse-Runway.

Nah, but anyway, even if they did let you walk in, you'd have to walk through the raceway where the horses gallop through...and with the added rain, by the time you arrive at the examination room, your shoes will totally be ruined!!! :rofl:

Anyway, when you leave Randwick Racecourse, go through the same gateway that you walked in, and turn right. You should see a bus shelter there, and most of the time UNSW alloates a Sydney Bus dude to stand guard there.

Again you catch 372 back to Central. 891s (From Randwick Racecourse direct to central) will also stop there during Examination periods at the same stop as the 372 (the one I just mentioned).
