The events calendar in March is a busy time with several major sporting and cultural events attracting both interstate and international visitors to Victoria.
The ever stylish city of Melbourne has ample world class accommodation available to suit all budgets and location needs. Avalon Airport is just a short drive along the Princes Freeway or a comfortable train ride from Southern Cross Station (Spencer Street). www.visitmelbourne.com
However, because it is a busy month, we encourage you to make your accommodation booking as soon as possible.
Of course many other accommodation options exist outside of central Melbourne, including many at provincial cities less than an hour’s drive from the Airshow site at Avalon.
Lido Travel offer patrons an on-line accommodation booking service for the event. www.lido.com.au/calendar_online/default.aspx?cid=889d173e7526
