...taxi

no train/bus goes near
so
about an 1 hour from leaving Tulla
(you have to go thru the city or on the outskirts
on Citylink to get there)..maybe 50 mins

its not an easy one from Tulla

its a bit like going from Syd airport to Crows Nest, St leonards or Lane Cove
ya gotta skirt the city

50-60 mins from the airport

towards the city runs slow in the mornings)

Brig your bank roll, taxi's aren't cheap PM Benno see if he can lend you his bike, he works at the airport, ooops no hang on, R1 is a writeoff, next idea?

About 90mins by cab if the driver thinks you don't know your way around!

Mate, hire a car. $49/day some are even less than that. What is with Melbourne every thing is 1hr + from the airport

Every time i go to Melbourne $$$$$purchase a taxi Last trip, 3 days total cab fare $600. Luck work pick up the tab

glenferrie station could be close, depending where on burwood rd. Hawthorn might be near as well.
You'd probably be able to get a tram from the station to save a bit of walking.

I'd just taxi it though.
You'd be spending 20 on a bus to get to southern cross station then a train to glenferrie would be another 5 bucks. 45 minute journey.
Taxi will be 60 ish I reckon and take a similar amount of time, probably a bit less.

That estimate is probably on the low side too... have had to direct a cab once to the MCG...
