Que Sera Sera Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi all. My daughter lives in Wynnum north of Brisbane, I have looked at a few websites but can't seem to get much of an idea. If we relocate to Melbourne how much would a visit cost and how long would it take. Whats the best way to travel around Australia. From what I can see air travel seems very expensive and to drive would take 24 hours plus!:err: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Que Sera Sera Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks for that Tracy123 I will look it up. It would be a shame to be so close and not be able to visit regularly. I think we will settle in Melebourne as it does look lovely and there does seem to be a lot of jobs advertised to suit my husband. Also i think the climate would be better suited to us white skinned Bristolians!!!!:biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks again Tracy 123 after having a look I can visit for only $79 at certain times that should be ok every so often.:notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoll Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Definitely fly! Unless you fancy a few days on the road there and back - and quite frankly it is a dead boring road for the most part. Dont discount Qantas either, they sometimes have very competitive prices even when compared with Virgin, Jetstar and Tiger. Maybe you need to do it once then you will have done it and will have no compunction about never doing it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gary12 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Virgin Blue are great. Prompt service, we found the stewards to be really helpful (not like UK based economy airlines) Book way ahead and it can be a bargain. Think it took us about an hour I think.

Guest taffy 62 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Jetstar have been having some bargian flights from melbourne to brisbane for $49, If you travel off peak times with virgin you can get flights from about $79 to $149. The cheapest days to fly are tuesday and wednesday. We have just moved nr wynnym and fly to victoria a lot. You can get bus or train from melbourne stations out to avalon airport. if you go jetstar, and from tullamarine if you fly virgin. think the later will be a bit easier.
