| ===== Media ===== |

| ==== Radio ==== |
| |
| Australia has real expensive laws about pirate radio, but there are some good community radio stations. |
| |
| Technically, stations always have a '3' in front ('2' in Sydney, etc.), but some drop it. |

| === Tullamarine Airport === |
| |
| Getting to and from the airport is typically done via the [[https://www.skybus.com.au/|SkyBus]] airport shuttle. But it's expensive (like twenty-and-a-half bucks). It goes express between [[wp>Melbourne_Airport|Tullamarine Airport]] and [[wp>Southern_Cross_railway_station|Southern Cross Station]]. |
| |
| But you can get a regular bus (so you can use a [[https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/tickets/myki|Myki]] %%[%%see -s-[[Melbourne#Myki|Myki]]%%]%%) that connects with the regular train system. It's a bit less straight-forward than the SkyBus, but if you're confident in navigating the PT network, it's a great way to save some money. Also great if you live / are staying on a train or tram line that the bus connects to, because the only place the Skybus stops is at Southern Cross Station. |
| |
| The buses all leave from outside Terminal 4, and are: |

Getting off at Broady and getting the train to where you want is probably the quickest option. |
