god damn it!
iwont be in melb till sunday morning at 9am

[markinUSA]

Can someone give me help regarding locations/directions.

If I arrive at the intrernational airport at 8am and probably get through customs by 10am, then I am staying in the city, but I don't know if I should go to the city first, or go straight to the shopping centre.

Is Frankston on the way to the city from the airport? How far away is it from the city? Should I catch a cab to get there?

Does it take long to get from the city to Frankston? Does it take long to get to Frankston from the Airport?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[saintbrat]

a melbournite will answer the exact transport details

BUT no not on the way to the city-- if you;'ve ever been to moorabbin it's about 45-60 min from there heading south.

don't take a taxi

shuttle bus to the City and then Train I would think.

Melb Airport is approx 20KM Nth West of the City. Frankston is approx 40Km South of the City. Airport to Frankston by taxi would take approx 1 hour and cost upwards of $100. Taxi to City approx 20mins & $40. Train to Frankston approx 55 mins & $10 !!

don't take a taxi

unless the US$ goes gangbusters & you can convert to AUS$ at the airport

You can catch a train straight down to Frankston from the city - roughly an hour and fifteen journey i think.

Depends where in the city your staying - if your staying in the CBD then walk to one of the stations (Central, Flinders, Southern Cross) and you can catch a train to Frankston on the Frankston line.

I'm fairly sure the shopping centre, and store, is not a long walk from the Frankston station - but catching a taxi from the city would cost a fortune.

[markinUSA]

OK thanks for that.
I am staying in the city CBD - so I'll catch a train there.
Gives me something to do on Saturday!

You will be struggling, but I would not advise taking a train if you want to get there before 1:30pm! You'd hate to almost get there, only to miss him by 15 minutes (and trust me, Frankston is no short stroll from the airport!) Maybe see how long it takes you to clear customs and make a decision then.

Here is an image to give you a basic overview, followed by step-by-step directions. If you know anyone in Melbourne who can drive, I advise you ask them! Or alternatively jump in a hire car.

Thanks very much Redwhiteandblack, much appreciated.

Might be an idea to hire a car. I had no idea it was so far!

[saintbrat]

if you do get a link tag- those directions use the new eastlink road- tolled.

[markinUSA]

What is a link tag?

friggin hell...im struggling with organising a trip from interstate let alone one from friggin USA

mark?
are u specifically coming back just for the game?

if u are u should be carried around the ground on a throne.....
thats a big effort and a fair way to travel.

[saintbrat]

What is a link tag?

e-tag for the tolled roads which will cut down your trip

[snoopygirl]

Here are the links to the home pages for the toll roads.

I'm sure the car rental places will be able to advise you anyway.

Im a frankstonite and you would want to be leaving the city before midday to get to frankston in time!

Once off the train head on the front where there is traffic lights cross at the pedrastrian walkway, follow down to the corner on a laneway where hungary zaks is on the corner and turn left keep going down the laneway you will go past dimmeys, a framing place and you will see gloria jeans at the end and the entrance to the shopping centre and turn left and keep going and on the right is HWH!! Very simple walk!!Takes less than 5mins from the station!

Hope that helps!! Harvey usually stays longer than the time frame!

[snoopygirl]

Car rental places at the airport include

Budget.com.au & Hertz.com.au
