I spent a week in Melbourne recently and did not get lost once. Lived in Sydney for the past 27 years and get lost in it every day lol
Melbourne is just a massive grid lol.

The problem is around the place, you either have to get someone to give you a lift to a train station, go to Southern Cross, find the Skybus place and get on, then it goes to the airport.

There is no rail into the airport, its only Skybus, taxi or VHA/B cars.

Or you can take your car to the airport and leave it at their car park and take out a second mortgage.

But trams are a pain in the *** too, on peak time its packed full of people, the Airport West tram can take 2 hours to get to/from its end at Elizabeth street in Melbourne to Airport West because it stops at like 700 stations on the way.
