Anyone know what a taxi would cost from OOL Airport - Varisty Lakes station or even Robina station on a Sunday night?

Thanks Virgin for the 40 minute delay. Greatly appreciated at that time of the night.

Work on roughly $48 ish .... Airport charge $3; flag fall $4.30; about $2.20 per km roughly 20 km distance

Wow! :shock:

Highway robbery?

Goes mostly along the highway...so probably very apt description.

Varsity Lakes/Robina Station > OOL, I'd plump for $60 (25 kms x $2.20 + $7.30 ++) Australian travel maps, street directory, driving directions & aerial photographs - Whereis.com

One way car hire at $73 is looking like the best option.

Wish I had booked it a month or so back when one way car hire was <$50. Thems the breaks....

I was going to say closer to $40, as its 16km by road.

Guiding Star Motel, Brooklyn, VIC 3012.

What is the area like? Safe?

Guiding Star Motel, Brooklyn, VIC 3012.

It is the dirtiest suburb in MEL, Clean up Brooklyn - Melbourne's dirtiest suburb - Wade Noonan MP

Brooklyn pleads for tough action on air pollution

Seems to be ok have never heard of the hotel though.

Why would you want to be over there? (at the risk of offending everyone west of the Westgate... :shock

Cost? At $65/night it looks like a bargain. And is reasonably close to MEL airport.

And I am trying to organise golf at Sunshine Golf Club at ~7:30am Sunday morning.

I struggle to justify spending $120+/night on a motel room.

Fair call.

I only ever go to the western suburbs occasionally for work, so I really don't know much about that side of town.

Western Suburbs in any city in the southern hemisphere are not very popular. Something to do with the way the winds blow.

This motel looks alright but only 3 reviews on TripAdvisor although all positive.

Ahh the joy in uniform change! I'm up for another one in a few months, although it's a step in the right direction!

The change in names of departments is silly. When the current NSW Government was elected, they changed the name of some departments from Department of ABC to ABC Department. So much waste.
