The Wat is not accessible by public transport. Allow about 3 hours travelling time by car if you come from Sydney.
If you are using Google Maps/Earth get directions to Wisemans Ferry not Ten Mile Hollow.
Arriving from Sydney
Drive to Wisemans Ferry either via Dural or Hornsby/Galston Gorge. If you use the M2 take the Pennant Hills Road Exit, turn left into Boundary Road, turn into New Line Road. In both instances you will need to join the Old Northern Road (Route 36 - check your street directory); drive through Glenorie and Maroota before arriving at Wisemans Ferry. Take the “Wisemans Ferry” (Not Webb's Creek) ferry across the river (operates daily for 24 hours and is free of charge). Getting off the ferry you turn right (east towards Gosford) and drive along the river for just under 4 km where a dirt road turns off to your left. This dirt road leads to the Wat.
Arriving from Central Coast
Take the freeway exit Peats Ridge/ Mangrove Mountains near Gosford and turn into Wisemans Ferry Road. Drive along that road for about 77 km to the beginning of the dirt road leading to the Wat. You will first drive through Spencer (about 56 km from freeway turn off).
20 km past Spencer there is the Hazel Dell picnic ground (has a small sign on right). Once you have passed that sign it is only about 1 km to the dirt road turn off on the right leading to the Wat. The turn off has a sign Wat Buddha Dhamma etc. 50 meters along the road is a locked gate.
From the gate it is a 16 km drive on a dirt road to the Wat. The road can be navigated with any car. There are a few rough spots, but if taken slowly these do not pose any problem. Drive carefully as this road, although narrow, is 2 way, and often has walkers and cyclists using it. Allow about 30 - 40 minutes for this section of your trip.
The lock combination is changed at times and we try to keep this number confidential so please contact the Wat before you plan to arrive.
