Driving to Mt Baw Baw: You Do You (But Maybe With Chains)
For the adventurous soul (or those who like to crank up the tunes and sing along terribly), driving is a great option. It's roughly a 2.5-hour cruise from Melbourne, with stunning scenery along the way. Just remember, Mt Baw Baw is a mountain, and mountains can be a bit dramatic with the weather. Road closures and snow are a possibility, so check the conditions before you set off. Here's where that whole compass thing might come in handy (though Google Maps will probably do the trick).
Important Note: If you're visiting during the snowy season, chains are mandatory for your tires in some areas. Don't be that guy who gets stuck halfway up the mountain because they forgot this crucial detail. Trust us, the tow truck driver will not be impressed by your rendition of "I Will Survive."
Getting There by Public Transport: Trains, Taxis, and Maybe a Unicorn?
Not everyone fancies strapping themself behind the wheel. Public transport is a perfectly viable option, though it does require a touch more planning. Here's the lowdown:
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
- Trains: V/Line runs services from Southern Cross or Flinders Street Station to Moe or Warragul. From there, you'll need to grab a taxi to complete the journey.
- Taxis: Speaking of taxis, you can also book a direct service from Melbourne to Mt Baw Baw, which is perfect for groups or those who like to travel in style (or those who are maybe a little directionally challenged).
- Unicorn: Okay, so a unicorn might not be the most realistic option, but hey, if you find one, hit us up – we want details!
Remember: Public transport can take a little longer than driving, so factor that in when planning your snowy escape.
