Avalon Airshow Shuttles

I am on my way down from QLD and was hoping to find a shuttle service from South East Melbourne, where I'm staying, to the air show for myself and maybe a couple of others. Either Sat or Sun.

Does anyone know of anyone doing this?

Yeah Dave, I heard that Tooradin is running them too; am yet to see the pricing but it should be decent. They are at AusAirServices.com.au these days. I don't quite agree with the 60 mins from the CBD on the website, maybe that is peak hour.

So pmjttrm depending on where you are in the South East of Melbourne, Tooradin might not be that far away for you.

If you are only 3 as your profile suggests, you might need an adult to supervise you

Shortstop might do a run in the DC-3 from Essendon. Otherwise I imagine giving any of the flying schools (or do they prefer Colleges?) a call will bring joy.

The other option is to catch the express trains from Southern Cross Stn to Lara and get the public shuttle over to the show site...not too tiresome if you're only doing it once or twice.
