Well, here is another railway station that I can mark off my list, not that there is really…read moreanything about it that would cause me to want to give it any marks, namely because, well, there really isn't all that much here. Okay, the interstate train does happen to stop here before turning further inland, but the other regional trains, well, not so much. In fact, when I was here I ended up going in one direction so as to go in the other, due to the number of trains that wouldn't stop here.

Well, this station certainly does have limited facilities, despite the fact that by the time you…read morereach here you are almost into the centre of Geelong. The city side platform does have a rather nice building there, but the other side seems to be only for people who get off the train, having come in from Melbourne. Mind you, the subway does have some rather nice artwork.

Maybe I could be a little bit more descriptive when it comes to this station, such as referring to…read moreit as an architectural masterpiece in the middle of one of the hippest areas known to mankind, but if I said that then you would know that I am lying, especially since I gave this place a rating of one. Yeah, there really isn't all that much here, and in fact it is one of those stations that you literally need a car to get to, unless you are willing to walk through endless miles of industrial wasteland.

I would like to thank Michelle , at the Geelong Railway Station. On the 21st January I needed help…read moreto travel from Geelong to Melbourne. I had just arrived from Tasmania by the Spirit Of Tasmania and had luggage. Michelle helped me with my luggage up the stairs and to get a Mykey card to get to Melbourne. Her help was so much appreciated . Her attitude was so friendly , such a rare thing these days. Please pass on my appreciation to Michelle. Carol Dawson Falcon Western Australia

This airport is very decent and check in or security does not take a while (literally 10-15 minutes…read morefrom the time you enter the airport and pass through the security. As long as you know what to take in your carry on, it's the simplest and quickest airport I have ever been through. Most of the flights are within Australia but a few do fly to South east Asian countries by JetStar. Also the cafe inside the airport is good!

You get what you pay for…read more.. Flights on JetStar are cheaper than Tullamarine, but a cab ride from Melbourne is quite expensive (close to $100 AUS). Avalon is more of a regional airport (aka bare bones) so beware that food options are awful and there isn't a ton of seating. If you miss your flight or it's delayed you're essentially out of luck because there are only a few flights per day.
