Castle Hill to Blacktown on the 730
From the middle of Castle Hill, the clinic is about 15 km by road. One direct route follows Showground Road and Windsor Road. Castle Hill station and Hills Showground station are both on the Metro North West & Bankstown Line, but Sydney Metro does not stop at Blacktown. For a public transport trip, bus route 730 runs between Castle Hill and Blacktown via Norwest and Glenwood. From Blacktown Station, the clinic at 118 Bungarribee Rd is about a kilometre on foot. If you drive, parking is available.

Showground, Castle Towers and 1804
On the night of 4 March 1804, convicts at the Castle Hill government farm rose up in what became known as the Castle Hill convict rebellion. Today the commercial area on Old Northern Road includes Castle Towers and the older Castle Mall. The annual Castle Hill Agricultural Show, which dates back to the 1880s, is held at Castle Hill Showground in late March. Castle Hill station sits opposite Castle Towers, but the Metro does not run to Blacktown, so route 730 is the bus to look for.
