Clearly the sane rocket scientist that invented AFLX decided to schedule a game in Werribee during the Airshow weekend. Nice work!

TRAVEL TIP3 - Saints JLT Game 2;
Note- VFL Practice match begins at 12.30 - Sandringham vs Footscray

Driving- approx 1 hr 22 from Melbourne- over westgate and Deer Park Bypass-
Address is 711 Creswick Rd , Wendouree. for the GPS

DO NOT panic and take the First Exit to Ballarat- veer right toward Adelaide- Take the 3RD exit ( of 5) A 300

TRAVEL TIP 4 for JLT 2 - Game in Ballarat.
TRAIN to Ballarat- Hourly from 8.16, TO Ballarat station or Wendouree MYKI-
- Then TAXI shared may be best option.- there are several taxi companies and Uber.

Local Buses are also MYKI payment ( no idea how much never use them)
BUT there is no direct Bus to Mars Stadium- Closest is the Regional Bus Toward Creswick which goes Creswick rd- But only a few times per day, once in the middle of the day.

> another alternative goes from Ballarat station to Wendouree Station and then toward Mars Stadium- with a 10-15 min walk- travel time 30 min plus

There may be a chance of Shuttle buses on the day But Have not seen information to that. ASK at the STATION

More of a worry is there a train back too Melbourne after the game?

More of a worry is there a train back too Melbourne after the game?

9 Pm last train from Ballarat on a Sunday- next trains about hourly the next morning,

Lola's at the Provincial across the road from the station would make a nice waiting spot.
