TRANSPORT
The Nationals are being held at Urban Climb – 2/220 Montague Rd West End. West End is an inner city suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, on the south side of the river. Bus services (mainly 190 and 191) run from the city to Boundary St (main retail precinct in West End) regularly (approx every 15 minutes in peak periods) and it is about a 5 minute walk from there to Urban Climb. Alternatively, South Brisbane train station is about 15 minutes walk from Urban Climb (or you can catch a bus from across the road from South Brisbane train station to Boundary St).
