Exclamation Essendon Procedures and Avalon Transit.

I've got two questions.

1.) If let say at Essendon, either runways 26, 08 or 35 is active for taking off, what exactly should I expect if I intend on tracking to Westgate? I understand the Essendon Tower will give me instructions but is it something as simple as "take off from 35, do a right circuit, climb and maintain 1500 to westgate" or would they direct me to another place like Doncaster where I'd be OCTA and I would have to find my way back to Westgate?

2.) What exactly are the transit procedure through Avalon in Class E airspace? I know I need to be listening to AV Approach but should I still make a broadcast to let them know of my intentions. And any point, would I need to contact Avalon Tower? I've seen this question pop up on this forum before and it breifly mentions it on CASA's Ontrack website but none of which are detailed enough to give me a confident understanding of the transit procedure.

If anyone can help answer any of the questions, that would be a great help.
