What time of the day/night?

I would guess outside peak you have sod all chance of useful public transport.

Inside peak you would also have sod all chance.

Just a guess though.

Train to Loganlea (most trains stop there, Lord knows why but I'm thankful) then Taxi would be my best bet ...

Agreed. Not the easiest place to get to.

Ha, thanks. Don't mind a taxi if it's short.

I take it I can get the train from the airport?

If you use the Bloke's translink link you'll fund the Aritrain - which runs from the airport, but it doesn't run late at night, so it depends on your arrival time. Then you'd either need a cab from a station the other end - or if you are too late and the trains aren't running, get a cab all the way or a cab partway, onto the tain, then back to a cab.

Some bits of Brisbane are well served, but once you get out to the outer suburbs you aren't so lucky.

We have a bus service.

On Thursday.

In the morning it goes to the Hyperdome.

In the afternoon it comes back.

Wouldn't want to be there on a Thursday then. Actually, wouldn't want to be there any other day of the week either.

Edit: Personally I'd probably rent a car at the airport rather than faff about with trains/buses/taxis. Some nice bits of Mt Cotton though if that helps.
