Gearing Up for the Great Escape: Car vs Coach vs You-Uber-That?
The trusty steed (car): This option offers freedom, flexibility, and the chance to crank up your cheesy ski tunes as loud as your eardrums can handle. But be warned, the drive can get a bit hairy, especially in winter. Pro tip: Check the weather conditions beforehand, and invest in some snow chains if you're planning a snowy getaway.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
The comfy couch on wheels (coach): Kick back, relax, and enjoy the scenery. No white-knuckled driving for you! Several coach companies offer day trips and overnight packages from Melbourne, making this a stress-free and social option. Bonus: Shared snacks are practically mandatory on coach trips, so be prepared to mingle and maybe make a new ski buddy.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.

Conquering Mount Buller: The Final Stretch
Once you've arrived in Mansfield (the gateway to Mount Buller), you've got a few options to reach the top:
- The Mansfield-Mount Buller Shuttle: This handy shuttle runs regularly during peak season and will whisk you up the mountain in comfort.
- Taxi: Perfect for a small group or those seeking a more luxurious (and potentially expensive) option. Just remember to factor in potential surge pricing during peak times.
Important Note: Always check road and weather conditions before heading up the mountain. Safety first, shredding slopes second!
