    Default 2014 VIC Champs - Getting around

    Seeing as people have flights booked and are keen to get hire cars / rides booked also, let's get some things organised here... Post away and I'll update the table as we go...
    As mentioned previously I'm fairly certain I'll have a sizeable trailer that we can put stacks of gear into so if guys need to book 4 to a car we should be able to work something out.

    Not that you should need it gents but I'll be bringing along an enclosed trailer so that if you (or anyone else) needs it there'll be more room to put stuff travelwise.
    We should be fine I'd think. No Grunt to cropdust the Circus.

    Due to a bit of a change in plans I'll now have a hire car after flying in at 6.15 am on Friday. As if RM wasn't going to be tough enough without having to play it on very little sleep after getting the red eye flight!

    I plan to catch up with a mate on Friday morning but after that I will have some spare seats if needed by anyone.

    I'm flying out at 8.20pm on Sunday so if anyone needs a lift to the airport for a flight around this time I should be able to help out.

    Note, there is a strict "No Nickelback" policy while travelling in my vehicle.

    Nickelback will cause the ejector seat in the Circus to operate with extreme prejudice.

    Slightly on topic ...

    My bro and a mate are playing the Mornington area at the end of Feb. Other mates are driving there, so they'll be right to get around, once they get to Dromana. They are flying in the day before, staying at Southbank and need to get to Dromana on a Saturday morning (with a standbag and cabin bag each).

    Point-to-point car rental is overkill. I suggested a train to Frankston and the local bus service to Dromana.

    Is there anything better, like a coach service from the city to the peninsular?

    Noted, thanks Kev.

    It all seems surprisingly organised at this stage but will keep you in the loop.

    Roughly an hour on the train to Frankston, then Dromana is another 45 minutes on the bus.

    Assuming they didn't have a ton of luggage its doable - and probably about $12.

    One standbag and one cabin bag each.

    They looked at car rental, but it was going to be around $150 for what is essentially only a 2 hour drive, and the drop-off point was still Frankston.

    I'd expect a hire car and driver would cost the same.

    http://jp.ptv.vic.gov.au/ptv/XSLT_TR...T2?language=en

    Start at Southern Cross station and go to Dromana (the URI doesn't hold a search detail or I would just paste a result)

    Looks like about 2:30 hours with a bus from Frankston to Dromana and a cost of $6 via myki. Skybus is $18 from the airport to Southern Cross.

    Or http://www.fapas.com.au/fares is $51 each to get to Dromana from the airport. I would pay $25 to have much less ****ing about. Book online first.

    Thanks Bruce, I'll pass it on.

    Unfortunately, they won't be going straight from the airport, as they are flying in the day before. My bro can make a couple phone calls.

    So it seems my holiday may be cut short and theres a 90% chance of my now flying back home Monday night like the others, does anyone have a spare spot for that last haul back to the airport from The Kew? its still a 90% chance but I probably need to sort something incase.. Also what typical flight times are you guys booking for the Monday flight back ??

    There'll definitely be spots Waddzy. If it happens I'd book after 3:30 to be on the safe side.
