From Sydney
Follow the instructions and you cannot go wrong. Remember there is no mobile phone coverage in the valley – there is a phone box in the village near the pub and our phone number is 45682115 if you are lost
GPS instructions
If you are using a GPS then it is wise to put in Wisemans Ferry first and make sure it takes you via Glenorie – if it wants to take you on the F3 then choose an alternative that will go via Glenorie - Once at Wisemans ferry put in St Albans as your destination and ensure you take St Albans Road as Settlers Road is mainly dirt. General navigation From Glenorie proceed through Canoelands, Forest Glen and Maroota then on to Wisemans Ferry.

From Dural it is a direct run of 38 km to Wiseman's Ferry. Look for the St Albans sign as you exit the last hairpin bend coming down the hill in to Wisemans. Cross the Hawkesbury River on the "Webb Creek" car ferry, drive off and head up veering right on St Albans Road and exactly 21 km later you will arrive at the St Albans village by crossing the ancient timber bridge or continue a few more metres along St Albans Rd where you will find the entrances to the court house and the St Albans School of Arts on your left.

We would expect that you can read music and would be comfortable at around grade 3 and above

However we do want this workshop to be a learning experience for all so if you would like an open string part, please let us know at StAlbansStringsWorkshop@gmail.com

If you live in the Sydney metro area you can drive up on the morning of the workshop but you will have to allow at least 2 hours to get to St. Albans. Also, you need to factor in and allow additional time as the main route in goes via the Webbs Creek or Wisemans Ferry. Depending on your arrival there might be a delay at the ferry.

As a result of the recent floods, access should be via the Webbs Creek ferry and St Albans Road.

Please see the accommodation details on the Accommodation Page.
