Guidebook for Melbourne
Essentials
How to get to our apartment from the airport: catch SkyBus to Southern Cross Railway station, then using the same ticket, at the same terminal, catch a bus to Rendevous Hotel at Flinders St. From there, walk 1.5 blocks toward Swanston St, passing Elizabeth St and Degrave St. Look for UniLodge, the apartment is on the 10th floor. If you see Young and Jackson, then you have gone too far. Ring me at anytime.
