Getting here
Street parking was free in 2026. Try these in order.
- Free street parking on Riverside Drive, right outside the club. Spaces are limited, so allow ten to fifteen minutes.
- Overflow parking on Rocky Point Road, on the east side near the Captain Cook Bridge. It is about a five minute walk along the waterfront path under the bridge.
- The St George Motor Boat Club car park at 2 Wellington Street, about a kilometre from the club, is another option if the street is full.
- By train, take the T4 line to Kogarah station. From the city it is about 25 minutes.
- From Kogarah station, catch bus 477 (towards Miranda) from Railway Parade, Stand C. Get off at Rocky Point Road at Wellington Street. Allow 15 to 20 minutes on the bus.
- From the bus stop, the club is about six minutes on foot (about 500 metres) down to Riverside Drive.
- By taxi or rideshare, Sydney Airport is about 20 minutes away and the city about 40 minutes outside peak hour. Give the driver the street address.
Good to know
- Opening hours and phone numbers are as published on each business's own site in late September 2026, for a 2027 event. Check before you book, and check again if your Sunday falls on a long weekend.
- Price bands are a guide only: $ for a casual meal, $$ for a relaxed dinner, $$$ for a special night out.
- Benetti's Italian takes bookings by phone only.
- Where a cafe or restaurant does not publish its phone number or hours on its own site, we leave them off. Check before you go.
- Drive and walk times are OpenStreetMap routing estimates without traffic, rounded to the minute. Allow extra time on Sunday evening and Monday morning.
- The 477 bus timing comes from the Transport for NSW route listing. Confirm your trip on the Transport for NSW trip planner before you travel; Sunday evening services run less often.
- The rideshare fare band is an estimate from published fare guides, not a live quote. Check your app for the price on the day.
- Parking on Riverside Drive was free in 2026. Council time limits apply wherever a sign is posted, so read the sign.
- A few places are pinned from NSW Spatial Services address points, used under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence.
- No regular Sunday-evening market or public event runs within 15 minutes of the venue. A foreshore walk, then the networking evening or dinner, is the easy plan.
The networking evening is on the Sunday before each date. The evening is a genuine chance to build relationships with people who do the job you do. You opt in for each person when you book. Your invitation is included in your ticket. The evening is for Forum ticket holders only, with no partners or guests. We email the time and place in the week before. About the networking evening
