Hill End is a former gold-mining town in Bathurst Regional Council, now run as the Hill End Historic Site by NPWS. It boomed in the early 1870s, when the Hill End and Tambaroora district held thousands of people, and is now home to only a small community. Its preserved streetscape is a popular heritage destination.
Hill End sits on a ridge in hilly, forested Central Tablelands country about 75 km from Bathurst by road, a little over 50 km north-west of the city as the crow flies. The Turon River runs nearby.
Walk the heritage streetscape, the museum and visitor centre and the old mining relics. Gold panning and fossicking are popular, and the Bridle Track runs back towards Bathurst.
A taxi over 276 km runs on the meter with no set price, and few will come out to Hill End for a pre-dawn start. Public transport means a coach or drive to the nearest station, a train to Central and a change to the airport line with your luggage — and nothing gets you there for an early flight. Driving yourself means about 3 hr 32 min each way plus airport parking for every day you are away. See the full comparison.
Flying home? We meet you at the rideshare area inside the P7 car park at T1, or the Priority Pick-up area off the P1 walkway at T2 and T3, with free waiting of 60 minutes after an international landing and 40 after a domestic one — step-by-step pickup directions.
Family down the road or a friend on the way — we collect from more than one address on the same run, so everyone travels in one vehicle for one fixed fare. Add the extra stops when you book.
Each has its own page and published fares.
$629 for one or two passengers, one way, fixed. Larger vehicles are $669 for three to four, $729 for five to six, $779 for seven to eight and $809 for nine to eleven. Tolls, the airport access charge, luggage and child seats are included.
For a 6am domestic flight the pickup from Hill End is around 12:05 am: two hours before departure at the terminal, the 3 hr 32 min drive and a 25-minute weather and traffic margin. We confirm the exact time when you book.
Hill End is a long drive from Bathurst before the trip even reaches the Blue Mountains, and the Victoria Pass closure adds a detour. Book an early pickup and give us your accommodation or street details.
Give us the name of the guesthouse, hall or camping area, or the street address, when you book, and we will plan the pickup from there.
Yes — from $559, $70 less than Sydney Airport for one or two passengers, because Badgerys Creek is on the western edge of the basin. Passenger flights start on 25 October 2026.
We track the flight, so a delay simply moves your pickup at no extra charge. Free waiting counts from when the plane lands: 60 minutes for international arrivals at T1 and 40 minutes for domestic at T2 and T3. Keep your phone on — the driver messages you.
Payment is made in advance, by card or PayID, to confirm the booking and hold the vehicle. Give us at least 24 hours’ notice to change or cancel; inside 24 hours a cancellation fee applies.
