Kirkconnell is a rural locality east of Bathurst on Sunny Corner Road, best known for Kirkconnell Correctional Centre, a minimum-security prison for men. It opened on 26 November 1958 as the Kirkconnell Afforestation Camp, closed in December 2011 and reopened on 30 July 2015 after a $4 million upgrade.
Kirkconnell lies roughly 30 km east of Bathurst, in forested hill country near Sunny Corner State Forest, off the Great Western Highway. It is about 34 km west of Lithgow.
There are no visitor attractions in Kirkconnell itself. Sunny Corner State Forest and the old silver-mining village of Sunny Corner are nearby, and Bathurst and Lithgow are each about 30 minutes away.
A taxi over 179 km runs on the meter with no set price, and few will come out to Kirkconnell 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 2 hr 25 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.
$439 for one or two passengers, one way, fixed. Larger vehicles are $479 for three to four, $539 for five to six, $589 for seven to eight and $619 for nine to eleven. Tolls, the airport access charge, luggage and child seats are included.
For a 6am domestic flight the pickup from Kirkconnell is around 1:10 am: two hours before departure at the terminal, the 2 hr 25 min drive and a 25-minute weather and traffic margin. We confirm the exact time when you book.
Public transport there is limited, so private transfers are common. Give us the exact pickup point and time when you book so the driver can meet the person at the right spot.
The road runs through high forest where fog and frost are common in winter. Tell us your pickup time when you book so we can plan the early run with that in mind.
Yes — from $369, $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.
