Paling Yards is a remote locality far south of Oberon, reached via the sealed Goulburn–Oberon Road and then local roads, many of them gravel. Pickups are at the property gate, so exact directions matter.
From Paling Yards the quicker way to Sydney is usually south, south via Taralga and Goulburn, then up the Hume Motorway — it avoids the Blue Mountains and the Victoria Pass detour altogether.
Neighbours can each book from their own page — the closest areas we cover are Bald Ridge, Abercrombie River and Triangle Flat.
About 226 km and 3 hr 3 min by road.
Paling Yards is a very sparsely settled rural locality in the far south of the Oberon district. It has been grazing country since the 1830s, when landholder Roger Murphy bought land at Paling Yards, and was also known as Wallangriva.
Paling Yards is roughly 60 km south of Oberon, in rugged country near the Abercrombie River, which rises east of Mount Werong and flows west towards Wyangala Dam.
A remote rural locality with no visitor attractions of its own; services are in Oberon. It is known as the site of the proposed Paling Yards Wind Farm, a State Significant Development of up to 47 turbines still going through NSW planning assessment, and the Abercrombie River is nearby.
A taxi over 226 km runs on the meter with no set price, and few will come out to Paling Yards 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 3 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.
$599 for one or two passengers, one way, fixed. Larger vehicles are $639 for three to four, $699 for five to six, $749 for seven to eight and $779 for nine to eleven. Tolls, the airport access charge, luggage and child seats are included.
For a 6am domestic flight the pickup from Paling Yards is around 12:30 am: two hours before departure at the terminal, the 3 hr 3 min drive and a 25-minute weather and traffic margin. We confirm the exact time when you book.
Remote rural pickups are part of the job. Give us the gate or road details when you book so the driver can plan the run.
The Goulburn–Oberon Road crosses high country where winter fog and ice occur, so tell us your flight time when you book and we allow for it.
Yes — from $569, $30 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.
