By train

There is a train service which comes to Pomona from Brisbane, but there is no public transport from the station to the meditation centre; a 20 minute walk. This train arrives at Pomona railway station at 12:05pm on weekdays (departs Roma St Station, Brisbane at 9:33am). See Translink for further details on trains.

Please note: arrangements are in place to meet the train at Pomona station at 12:05pm on the weekday the course begins. Luggage will be transferred to the centre and we can provide a lift to those who have mobility problems.

Because registration for the course does not start until 3pm it is preferable for new students to relax in town and walk to the centre at this later time. Students who have previously completed a Vipassana meditation course in this tradition are encouraged to come directly to the centre to help with the setup for the course.


Airport transfer

Note that the Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) Airport is closer to the Vipassana Centre in Pomona than the Brisbane airports.
