G'day guys,

I am thinking of flying over to melbourne in the next week or 2 to pick up a car.. the car is in belmont, in geelong area... i worked out its roughly 70k's or so from melbourne. Wat is the best way to get from Melb airport to belmont... taxi ? bus service ? once i get the car i will be all sorted!!

You can catch a bus called the Gull service to Geelong, taxi would cost you around $100 or so. probably best to booka spot (03) 5222 4966, that will get you to town and Belmont is probably a $15 cab journey from there.

from Geelong along the freeway back towards Melbourne
(beware 'safety' cameras...so behave)
then
across the Westgate bridge towards the CBD
and
get off at Montague ST exit and turn right into MontagueSt
continue to end..turn right (into City rd) and go to end
turn right..to Spirit of Tas terminal
