www.virginblue.com.au
or
www.jetstar.com.au

are the two budget airlines, but depending on how far in advance you book and how busy they are on that day, you could pay from between A$50 to $200 return.

Be careful if flying on Jetstar as you will want to fly to Tullamarine Airport. The other Airport (Avalon Airport) is miles from Melbourne (about 1 hr in the car and I don't think there is a train), so the taxi will end up costing more than the flight.

The flight is about one hour. There is also a train, which takes probably about 10-12 hours and might be a lot cheaper.

Driving will take 10 hours or so and will probably cost A$100-200 in petrol each way, but if you want to make a trip of it, the south coast from Bateman's Bay to Eden is well worth exploring.

Try www.birginblue.com.au or www.jetstar.com.au but be aware the jetstar only fly to a smaller airport outside the city - but still in to 'Melbourne' but not the normal Tullamarine airport. I would think this would be cheaper than bus as the bus may be a little bit cheaper in dollars but the time would be much more, a one hour plane trip compared to hours 10 to 14 on a bus! No choice for me! Also try www.qantas.com which can sometimes have deals which are as cheap as virgin blue and jet star! Happy travelling!!!

I thinkmaybe the cheapest was would be to take a bus from the cbd in sydney to melbourne. I took it last year i think it was under $100 and about 12 hours. as for getting to aus if you can fly to bangkok or singapore the flights to darwin and perth are quite cheap (i flew bangkok to darwin for under $250 aus 1 way) and a flight from darwin to melbourne would be about $200

we flew on Quantas. Got our cheap flight and didn't have to pay a dime for the extra flight from Melbourne to Sydney.
try www.kayak.com or www.sidestep.com

The best way to travel between Sydney and Melbourne is by plane, try Qantas, Virgin Blue and Jetstar.

If you don't want to fly you can drive in about 10 hours.

Virgin Blue or Jet Blue are cheap in Australia. Qantas is the best Australian airline and provide food and entertainment, to get the cheapest deals with them check out their website at www.qantas.com and look out for the red e-deals. You should be able to get a flight on Qantas between Sydney and Melbourne for about $AUD120-150
