    Melbourne info needed

    Looks like i need to fly down to melbourne on the 21st and i have never been there before.

    i am looking at catching the earliest flight down and the latest back but have no idea of the logistics of getting around down there.... earliest flight gets me there about 8:30am and latest leaves at 8:50pm

    how far from town is the airport in peak hour? best way to get into town?

    I have to meet some people to spend a few hours talking turkey but would like to say hi to some people down there etc etc

    any info much appreciated....

    Hi Incisor,
    The only real way to the city is down the Tulla Freeway, whether you go over the new flyover across Flemington Road, or down Flemington road I would think is 50/50. The trip into town can take up to 1 hour in peak, normally 25 min.If you are in a bus or Taxi, they are quicker as they have special lanes.There are a couple of options if the freeway is RS, depends on your taxi driver, and that can vary.
    You might look at the option of the Bus if just going into town.
    I live the other side of the city, and have only seen the traffic from Tulla when I am going the other way.
    Looks like we are putting on a typical Melb day for you too!!
    Enjoy... it's a good town.

    Hi Inc,

    I think Deejay has pretty much summed it up... where in Melbourne do you need to get to through the day?

    The skybus is defenateley the way to get to and from the airport in melbourne. Not too expensive for a return ticket, and very easy to use.

    If you are just meeting someone in the city I'm with Hiline... direct and cheap. I you need to get to the 'burbs you need to let us know where. I'm sure there'll be plenty of help available.

    By the way Ray....good to see your smiling type back here.... been a bit quiet of late.
