The closest airport to the Mt Gravatt campus is the Brisbane airport. From the airport, turn left onto the Gateway Motorway crossing the Gateway Bridge (Bridge Toll $2.90 as at April, 2009) continue along the Gateway highway taking the Mt Gravatt Capalaba Road exit. Turn right at the traffic lights and follow Mt Gravatt Capalaba Road to its end (the road continues ahead, however, it's name is changed to Kessles Road - this occurs at the intersection of Mt Gravatt Capalaba Road and Logan Road). Continue along in the same direction taking a right turn into Mains Road (intersection of Kessles and Mains Roads) and follow Mains Road onto the South East Freeway. Take the first exist (Gaza Road), and then right at the first set of traffic lights and right again at the next set of traffic lights (access road South to the South East Freeway). From this access road turn left into Messines Ridge Road (making sure to veer left and not to go back onto the South East Freeway) and then follow this road into the campus.
