Hi,

Just asking have anyone been to the Avalon Airshow held every 2 years at Avalon Airport near Geelong?
The next one will be in 2019 & I am planning to go to the airshow.
Is it recommended to go for the trade show or for the public show?
No i never been to aviation show but base on other shows experiences,

i shud say unless u r in the trade, its better to go public else trade show will bore u

I am just curious if one does not drive and wishes to go fruit picking, weribbee zoo, etc etc are there any private hire drivers to drive people there?

I knew there are tour to join but those tours are for like "major attractions" like 12 Apostles, Philip Island etc etc.
i opt for the 2-way shuttle service to weribbee zoo (must pay btw).. i think you can book your slots on their website..

The shuttle at $35 per pax seems rather excessive. You might be able to hire a car for the day for roughly the same price if you have at least 2 pax. If you must, public transport is available as well, but it takes you an hour and a half one way.

I believe theirs is a shuttle to their depot. I would recommend redspot if you renting from airport. Gonna rent from them in a week :)

fastest 30 minutes, provided u pack ur bag according to the items may need to be declare. cos i chiong sua many times before, i only had 60 mins to connect to other domestic flight. pick up my 40kilo and run to domestic terminal to re-check in 20 mins before gate closes. usually complete that within 40 mins and leaving me to run to gate and board in 10 mins before hatch closes. meaning i landed at 6 am, my next flight is at 7am. the adrenaline rush is damn shiok

general meds need to be declare. I dun declare as i got them from australia and oz specialist prescription letter.

Yes i am in the aviation trade, that's why planning to go.

But was stuck between deciding to stay in downtown Melbourne or Geelong.

Bored of Singapore Airshow and LIMA airshow already.

Thanks!
