Jase are you starting your hours or just watching another driver? If it’s the latter I’d be amazed if they give you a space at Ellis street for that as for quickest route it’s pretty much cross over by the pagoda island and walk down John bridge street which is at the back of the Alexandra theatre

Ye it’s a lot to take in but as long as your group help each other you’ll be fine, we’ve just finished traction which as most will attest to is the hardest most stressful part of the whole course so glad that’s behind us now!
