    Yep. Motorised carts are Saturday and Sunday only. Woodlands, VIC and Latrobe will all have pull trolleys to use / for hire.

    They would be - these are resort/holiday courses we are playing

    Check their websites (and the course previews on the sites are pretty good too)

    Folks, I will now have a car as well. Getting in to Tullamarine at 11.40 am on Thursday and flying out at 8.35 pm on the Monday. If anyone still needs a lift over the weekend, or to and from the airport to get flights around these times, I can probably accommodate for another 1 or maybe 2 dependent on the amount of luggage.

    Question for the locals, what is the best option as far as paying for tolls goes? I assume getting a Melbourne Pass and just paying for the tolls that are used is going to work out cheaper than paying the rental company fee of $12.10 per day for the 5 days. Last year I just paid the rental company fee but was only there for 3 days. I don't imagine that I will rack up $60.50 in tolls over the 5 days? At least I hope I won't!

    24 hour pass is $15.80

    The Tulla and eastlink are the tolled roads. There are none once you pass Frankston. Surprisingly the new and great Peninsula link is free...

    As far as I can see you'll be best advised to purchase a 24hr CityLink pass for $15.80 for the Thursday (although if you're not in any hurry you can easily just go down Mt Alexander Rd instead for free), and then that's pretty much it. All tolls are avoided on the way back to the airport on Monday from Latrobe.

    The guys travelling from Cape Schanck to the airport on Sunday may want to purchase the same pass if they feel they might be pushed for time.

    I don't believe we need to travel on EastLink for any reason.

    Cool. Thanks for the tips guys!

    I tried using the calculator on the CityLink website to work it out but after faffing about for a bit trying to calculate it, I figured it would be easier (read:lazier) to just ask some locals, or semi locals in Lefty's case. I've arranged flights so I won't have to rush at all so I suppose I can just use the GPS and select no toll roads if I really want to be a tight arse.

    Yeah, with your schedule there's no need to go anywhere near any toll roads unless for some sick reason you really want to.

    Actually, now that you mention it Pete, I've still got my Sydney E-Tag from before I moved to Perth. Not sure if it would still work after 6 years of non-use? They may well have changed over to a different type of tag by now. I still get statements for it and it does still have about $80 of credit on it.

    Although it does not look too hard to avoid the toll road from the airport.

    That is crap, just a money grab off the road companies. Go online edit your tag when you are there to get around that. I know mine lets me change it when ever I like.
