The quickest way is flying (around 1hr 30 mins).
You can do it by bus or train, but it takes much more longer around 10 hrs
by train.

Cheap airfa http://www.virginblue.com.au/ or check out Qantas
http://www.qantas.com.au/ .
The airfare sometimes cost a lot cheaper than bus/train. Book early and
look
for special.


cheers people!

Looks like its only 35 to 40 £ by air

Is it possible to just turn up to the airport on the day and buy tickets
(sydney -- melbourne) rather than buy them in advance?

or are they usually booked up (meaning i have to book early myself!)
