So you've landed at Avalon Airport...and now what? Don't worry, Bruce there's no need to whip out your swag and live off the land (although, that would be one heck of a story for the grandkids). Getting from Avalon Airport to the glorious Melbourne CBD is a breeze, easier than wrangling a particularly stubborn wombat.
Here's your survival guide, Melbourne-bound adventurer:
Your chariot awaits: Choosing your Avalon escape pod
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
- The trusty SkyBus: This is your classic, reliable ride. Think of it as a comfy spaceship (minus the zero gravity shenanigans) that zooms you straight to Southern Cross Station in the heart of Melbourne. Bonus points for free Wi-Fi onboard, so you can Insta your arrival in style.
Hitting the road, Indiana Jones style (without the fedora)
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
- Taxi: If you're feeling like a high roller, a taxi will get you there lickety-split. Just be prepared for the meter to tick up faster than a kookaburra scoffing a snag.
For the eco-warriors and the penny-pinchers:
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.
- Public transport (sort of): While there's no train station at Avalon just yet (they're working on it, we promise!), you can catch a bus to Geelong and then snag a connecting train to Melbourne. This option is the most adventurous, but hey, it's a chance to pretend you're on a global backpacking expedition...without leaving Victoria.
Top tip: Be sure to check timetables and book your SkyBus ticket online in advance, especially during peak travel times. Nobody likes a queue longer than a conga line at a wedding.
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
Bonus Round: Braving the elements (not recommended)
- Hitchhiking: This is strictly for the truly adventurous (or those with a serious aversion to spending money). Just remember, hitchhiking comes with risks, so this is best left as a tale for another time (unless you're MacGyver, then crack on!).
- Biking: Unless you're a lycra-clad cycling champion with superhuman thighs, this one's a hard pass. The distance is a marathon, not a sprint, and trust us, battling Melbourne traffic on two wheels is not for the faint of heart.
