Avalon... Least you could fly into the airshow

But seriously what a pain in the ar*e it is travelling through major airports. The ques (yes even Q Club, BC), secrutiy check points and the old Nazi cops out the front to stop you dropping off or picking up.

Avavlon will be relatively quiet, effecient and you probably will not have to walk 4 km to the terminal or pay $20 for the privaledge of parking at the airport.

Straight over the West Gate bridge and down the FWY pretty easy really. The only problem will occur in peak Summer Traffic with everyone heading down the coast (I miss Torquay) if there is a pile up.

Saying that there is a train line & bus connection which would probably need to be upgraded but would more than likely also cost less than the Bris - Airport train.

I would imagine that there would be fairly hefty incentives for JetStar. Don't forget Bacchus Marsh, Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, The Coast, Werribee, Altona, etc are all very very very close to Avalon. There is a huge and growing population base!

Now what a fun sector that would be... a ferry from Tulla to AV...
