transport around the site
To ensure low impact on this wonderful heritage site, Q Station has a shuttle bus service, the 'people mover', to run customers from the day visitors' Car Park (CP1) to the wharf every 30 minutes from 10.30am.
The people mover will run continually back and forth from the people mover shelter to the Luggage Store Visitor Centre. Due to the vastness of the site it is imperative that customers arrive at least half an hour before their activity's scheduled start time to allow time to be moved between venues.
In order to minimise impact on wildlife and disturbance of other visitors, customer vehicles are not allowed to be driven onto the site.
