Im arriving this coming friday so will most probably hang around city and at most going to brunswick. But Saturday onwards then start to travel like st kilda on sat, collingwood and south melbourne on sun. Then monday will most prob will be richmond and brighton. Tuesday not travelling as will be on day tour to GOR. Thats the plan.
I guess top up 30$ first then see if it last for these activities above not. You guys think enough? Thanks
$30 should be just enough. It's very easy to top up if you need it. I don't normally suggest visitors to do this, but since you're going to pay for public transport on Friday anyway, you can actually get out of the airport on bus 901, and then change to a train at Broadmeadows. It's included in the $8.60 daily cap, so you won't have to pay the $19 for the skybus.
It takes quite a long time, and Broadmeadows isn't exactly the safest place in Melbourne (it's generally ok during the day), so it's only recommended for those with a lot of time to kill, travellers on an extremely tight budget, or well travelled locals who really know what they're doing.
