By car from the South:
Route 2: Turn off the Hume Hwy onto Ring Road 7 to and follow it toward Hornsby until you get to turn left onto Boundary Rd at Pennant Hills and then use the directions above to Dural. This way is free, but has lots of traffic lights and so is slow. Consider peak hour traffic.
Route 3: Turn off the Hume Hwy onto M7. To travel on the M7, which costs $12, one needs an electronic tag. If you have one go M7 which becomes the M2, then exit at Ring Road 7 toward Hornsby and then turn left at Boundary Rd to Dural as above. This is the quickest way for travellers from the south.
