"Been to Avalon three times and never again. Long way to drive, windy, hot and the dust really spoils the day."

"Long way to drive,"

From where ?

It is probably the easiest drive of any in Melbourne
because you have a straight highway / freeway to it
and connecting freeways onto this one.
Imagine holding a show at Tullamarine, then watch the wingers
re traffic, distance etc.

Isn't one of the attractions of Avalon that it has low level of restrictions,
partly due to lack of commercial traffic and partly it's location away from
the city / main airport ?

"windy, hot and the dust", Er, this is Australia in the hottest month
of the year. And hasn't the show been wet and muddy a couple of times ?
