Just FYI. This airspace is under the control of ML CTR on 135.7, whereas the other side is (mostly) under AV APP 133.55
That's a big assumption, I'm not sure what you're trying to suggest. You don't track the VFR coastal route in a jet at 200+ knots. That's just for pilots to transit Moorabbin to keep close to the beach.
To get back to YMEN it would require one frequency change to 125.1 and to get to Avalon it would be one change to 133.55. The Avalon airspace starts around 8nm out and Essendon is ~7nm out to make contact.
