Getting to Melbourne University




Taxis from the Airport

Taxis are available from the ground floor level of Melbourne Airport.  Expect to pay around A$32 to A$35 for the ~30 minute trip into the centre of Melbourne, a little less going direct to Melbourne Uni.  Ask the driver to drop you in Swanston St near the corner of Faraday St (opposite Monash Rd on campus) or near the corner of Elgin St (opposite Tin Alley on campus).
 

SkyBus to/from Airport

Phone: (61 3) 9670 7992
SkyBus operates 24 hours a day between the Airport and the city centre. The service runs approximately every 30 minutes at a cost of A$12 each way.  Pick it up outside any airport terminal and it will take you to Spencer Street railway station in the city.   From there, courtesy shuttles take you to drop off points throughout the city centre close to hotels and facilities, e.g. the Rydges Carlton Hotel, which is three blocks from the University.  Alternatively, you can catch the 96 Tram from Spencer St railway station to the corner of Bourke and Swanston Streets, then catch any tram marked "Melbourne Uni", going north up Swanston St, all the way to the Melbourne University terminus. 



 

Workshop Venue: Theatre A in the Old Pathology Building

The University is about 2 km north of central Melbourne.  Trams 1, 15, 21 & 22 running North up Swanston St. (e.g. from Flinders St. and Melbourne Central railway stations) stop at the University.  Alight at the last stop before Elgin St. at the corner of Faraday & Swanston Sts.  The University campus is on the left/west.  A very short walk north takes you past the Ian Potter Museum of Art (Tues-Fri 10-5) and Brunetti's Coffee shop (highly recommended!).  Turn left at Brunetti's and the Old Pathology Building is on your left about 50m down the pathway.

Note: the Old Pathology Building has recently been renamed the Elizabeth Murdoch Building.
 

Parking

We suggest you use public transport to reach us as there is no public parking on campus.  Limited meter parking may be available in the local streets and the closest car park is Elgin St Garage, cnr. Elgin and Lygon Sts., a 5 minute walk away.
