Just to let you know that in a few moments I will be driving to the local shops and bank, then accompanying my mum to the doctor and then swimming through some water. In the late afternoon I will be transported by train to Airport - Domestic, before flying to Malb'n where I shall sojourn in Yarraville before awakening in that foreign land, being driven to South Melbourne for a full day meeting. Afterwards I shall take a taxi back to Tullamarine before once again winging back to Sydney (different airline) and returning home.
is there no end to the excitement of travel?

I think you need to add a trip by bus and ferry to complete the transport options. And how can you possibly visit Melbourne and not go on a tram?

There's a ferry across the Yarra. You can travel Williamstown. Which is a lovely little village.

There's also a bicycle punt from Newport to Port Melbourne if you want to get really funky. Sorry no time for bolds...

Thanks for the travel tips. <blockquote>Quote
<hr>If you go to Yarraville, you should have a look at Footiscray.. <hr></blockquote> In a kinder, gentler world I would. However, as much as I have loved previous visits, this time I arrive about 9pm and etd is 8am. Not much time for seeing all that The 'scray has to offer!

<hr>Shouldn't 'train' and 'Airport - Domestic' be in bold too! ;) <hr></blockquote> Possibly. But this time I just stuck to doing words!
Oh how I pine for those other transport options....and I think the bicycle punt is a VERY atractive proposition.
spen: at least the forecast for Malb'n is much hotter than Sydney (which is basking in PERFECT autumn weather - glorious) , then a cool change and showers tomorrow afernoon. That's the beauty of St Petersburg.
