Calling All Budgie Smugglers! You Won't Believe How Far Melbourne is to Singapore
So, you've decided to ditch the barbie for chilli crab and swap your budgie smugglers for a Singapore Sling? Excellent choice! But before you chuck your boardies in the backpack and whack on your Bintang singlets, there's one crucial question: just how far is Melbourne from Singapore?
Fear not, intrepid traveller, for I, your friendly neighbourhood travel guru (who may or may not have gotten a touch sunburnt wrangling koalas in Queensland), am here to break it down for you.

The Great Down Under to the Lion City: The Distance in All Its Glory
Brace yourselves, because the distance between Melbourne and Singapore is no laughing matter (well, maybe a little). We're talking about a whopping 6,066 kilometres (or 3,775 miles). That's further than throwing a boomerang and hoping it circles back in time for dinner!
Top Tip: Don't even think about trying to swim it. The sharks Down Under are one thing, but trust me, you don't want to tangle with a grumpy saltwater crocodile in Southeast Asia.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
But Wait, There's More! How Long Does it Actually Take to Get There?
Ah, the million-dollar question (well, maybe more like a ten-dollar Tim Tam question). The good news is, planes exist! You can soar through the sky in a comfy seat, sipping complimentary beverages and watching movies, for around 8 to 10 hours. That's basically the time it takes to binge-watch an entire season of your favourite show – easy peasy!
Bonus Tip: Pack some noise-cancelling headphones. Trust me, unless you're a huge fan of crying babies and snoring strangers, your ears will thank you.
