Queenslander soon to be lost in Melbourne (I will need directions)

I am flying down next week to pick a Kombi I brought off ebay (eBay Kombi link, click here if you want to see me).

I need to get from Melbourne airport to Ballarat. Any suggestion on he best and cheapest way (bus, train, hitch-hike etc)

I then need to start a kombi that hasn't been for 12 months and drive home to Toowoomba QLD.

The previous owner says the carbys are a bit out but it should be OK, he hasn't tried to start it. My guess is that the battery may be flat as wel

Any AVD in the area wanting to lend a hand just to ensure I can get it started. Maybe I would need a jump start and some fresh fuel?

Any suggestions or helper down that way who want to help ?

I am planning to do this late next week.

Wow... sounds like you may be about to embark on a funky adventure!

I want to wish you all the best though, you'll definitely have to post some pics from start to finish! 😉

Melbourne? Oh dear, you'll definately get lost! From what I've heard it's far greater than Brisbane.
Good Luck!

Good luck. Hope the journey is filled with good karma and no hassles.

that's a toughie... public transport from melb to ballarat would have to be trains... check out the V-Line trains as they run from melb to major country towns etc. www.vline.com.au and you can check out the times and fares.

good luck

Directions to Melb: South!

Directions to Brissy: North.

Hope this helps.....

looks like you snagged a bargain. will definitely be interested in seeing some pics/hearing some stories on the way back!

may the force be wif u ... and yo long trip.

catch the skybus from the airport to southern cross station, where you can hang off the back off a train all the way too ballarat.
