Airport transfers are readily available from the airport and there is a regular train service straight to the city.
Interstate and intercity trains arrive regularly at Central Station. A note to international visitors, in Australia, the train tracks in NSW are a different size to those in Queensland, as such there is no train service from Queensland (without changing to a bus as you approach the border).
