The corridor, in real numbers
Wollongong CBD to Sydney CBD is 84 kilometres, about 80 minutes on the measured road route up Mount Ousley and the M1. Campbelltown and the south-west are closer again, around 61 kilometres and 52 minutes. Those are road-route figures, not map-crow guesses, and they are what we plan your day around.
How the hourly model treats a corridor move
Simple and out loud: the crew's hours run from load start to unload finish, travel included, at the same flat rate we publish for every job. No hidden depot-to-depot padding, no fuel levy invented at the kerb. When we call back we will estimate the full day honestly, including the mountain leg, so the number you plan around is the number that shows up.
Which direction are you going?
Sydney down to the Gong
The classic move of the last few years: trading a Sydney rent for a home where the beach is a walk and the escarpment is the view. If you have not picked your suburb yet, our Sydney-to-Wollongong guide matches home types to the strip honestly, tower to village to estate.
The Gong up to Sydney
New job, new campus, new chapter. We load early so you are unpacking in Sydney by afternoon, and because the crew came from Wollongong it goes home after, not into a Sydney depot queue that your invoice pays for.
Making one day of it
- Book the lift windows at both ends before move day; corridor days live and die on the second lift.
- Pack fully the night before. Corridor moves punish the half-packed house twice, once at each end.
- Keep a first-night box in your own car: kettle, chargers, sheets, the dog's bowl.
- Large homes going the full distance often suit the two-truck crew, one run, no second trip over the mountain.
