Spoiler Alert: It's a Long Way, Cobber
Forget popping down the road for a barbie. We're talking about a whopping 10,500 miles (or 16,900 kilometres) separating these two great cities. That's further than you can throw a shrimp on the barbie (though, don't tempt fate, it might land on your head).
Think of it this way:
QuickTip: A slow read reveals hidden insights.
- You could walk it, but pack comfy shoes and a lifetime supply of Vegemite sandwiches (around 15 years of walking, give or take).
- You could cycle it, but make sure your legs are super strong and you don't mind the occasional emu chaser.
In short, flying is probably your best bet.
But Why Go All That Way?
Well, mate, Melbourne has a fair bit to offer:
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
- Coffee so good, it'll wake up even the sleepiest Brit.
- Beaches that would make Bondi jealous. (Though, maybe don't say that to a Sydneysider).
- Wildlife that will both amaze and terrify you. Seriously, have you seen a cassowary? Those things are like feathered velociraptors.
Thinking of Booking a Flight? Here's a Quick Tip:
Don't forget the time difference! Melbourne is 9 hours ahead of London, so you might land feeling like a jet-lagged galah.

Frequently Asked Traveller Questions (Because Google Can't Answer Everything)
How to pack for Melbourne's weather? Pack for all four seasons in one suitcase. Melbourne's weather is more fickle than a politician's promises.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
How to avoid getting sunburnt? Slip, slop, slap! (Sun protection, folks, it's a lifesaver... literally).
How to speak Australian? Start with "G'day" and a friendly smile. Bonus points for using "fair dinkum" in a sentence.
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
How to find a decent cuppa? Look for a local cafe, not a chain store. The coffee gods will thank you.
How to survive a close encounter with a wild animal? Stand very still and hope it doesn't see you. (Okay, maybe not the best advice, but it's a good story starter).
