Travelling to Melbourne
14 March 2015 by csf-admin
Melbourne is a popular destination for migrants seeking jobs or a new life in Australia. More than 30 million visitors a year come through Melbourne Airport, which is the second busiest airport in Australia. It is 23 km (14 miles) from the city centre, and the Skybus Super Shuttle will take you there in 20 minutes.
For those who don’t want to fly there are alternatives: trains link Melbourne to Sydney (11 hours, 2 trains a day, one by day and one by night); and the famous Indian Pacific from Perth via Adelaide crosses the Nullarbor Plain in 3 days.
From Darwin or Alice Springs and the Red Centre, take the Ghan train to Adelaide and change for Melbourne there.
Cheaper than the train but equally good for seeing the country and getting a sense of its vastness is inter-state bus travel. The air-conditioned Firefly Express operates routes to Melbourne from Sydney (14 hours), Canberra (9 hours) and Adelaide (12 hours).
