How to get to our office at the Convent

The Midsumma office is located within the beautiful grounds of the Abbotsford Convent, at 1 St Heliers Street, Abbotsford. A public car park is available in St Heliers Street. The office is located in the main convent building, marked in red on the map of the grounds at the main entrance. Once you enter the Convent courtyard (the cloister, with the large tree in the centre), proceed to the diagonally opposite, heavy double doors on the far right, then go up the stairs and follow the Midsumma signs. Feel free to give the office a call on 9415 9819 should you require any assistance.

Getting to The Convent by public transport

Train: The closest railway station is Victoria Park. Take either Epping or Hurtsbridge lines from the City. Check the monitors at your boarding station, as there are a number of express services on these lines that miss Victoria Park. It's a 5-10 minute walk from the Victoria Park station to The Convent, otherwise any of the bus services below pass by Victoria Park station.

Bus: Several bus lines travel from the city down Johnston Street:

Route 200 bus towards Bulleen (departs from Lonsdale Street at Hardware Street)
Route 201 bus to Warrandyte (departs from Lonsdale Street at Hardware Street)
Route 205 bus to Doncaster shoppingtown (departs from Melbourne Uni in Swanston St)
Route 207 bus towards Donvale (departs Lonsdale Street at Hardware Street)

You will need to get off at the Clarke Street Bus Stop. You will see signs to the Collingwood Children's Farm from there.
