Train Traveller: hands to teach you to sit on V/Line, a short-distance tour that you can walk away on.
If you want to take a short trip, if you don't want to travel by yourself or by plane, there is actually a simpler way to travel: V/Line train. As a vehicle that runs more than 1400 times a week and reaches more than 500 locations, including within Victoria and elsewhere, many people are not familiar with it yet.
Type of V/Line ticket
How convenient is V/Line? V/Line tickets are divided into one-way, round trip, week tickets, monthly tickets, and so on; V/Line tickets are roughly divided into two types, the first paper ticket, necessary for long-distance travel purchase tickets, such as Bairnsdale,ALbury, Swan Hill, Warrnambool and so on must be purchased.
train or bus ticket
The other type of V/Line ticket is the Myki (rechargeable traffic card), which can be used if you go to Melbourne or other specific towns, such as Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and Seymour.
You can also carry two suitcases (the weight does not exceed 20kg). In addition, you can take V/Line to Brisbane, Adelaide, and so on, and even if you go to areas outside of Victoria, the average ticket is less than $100.

Travel recommendation
1. Sovereign Hill town of Taogin
Sovereign Hill is in this town of Ballarat, and if he wants to get past, take V/Line 's Ballarat-Melbourne route. This route is to be taken at the Southern Cross station train station, where tickets are bought on the far left and far right of the first floor of southern cross, where tickets are bought just as the ticket clerk says he wants to buy Ballarat. (the fare for a round trip from Tips:Southern Cross to Ballarat is about $20.)
Note in particular: the V/Line travel hours are the same from Monday to Friday, and the weekend travel time will be adjusted.
When you arrive at Ballarat exit train, you can see the side bus stand, and then you need to take bus No. 9 and make two stops to get there. The train ticket will indicate that the previously purchased V/Line ticket includes the cost of a round trip bus (based on the Zone fare), and you can only show the ticket to the driver when you get on the bus. In addition, the return train time can also be determined in advance, which can better grasp the time to play ~
Upon arrival, you can see that Sovereign Hill is on the right, and on the left there will be tickets to Sovereign Hill's museum, Sovereign Hill, which includes tickets to visit the museum without having to buy extra tickets. When buying tickets, remember to pick up the map and introduction of Sovereign Hill on the counter! In case of need.) Then you can start playing happily!
The shops on the street are very distinctive, you can all go in to visit and buy souvenirs, as well as to carry on the experience of gold rush ~
If you have any other questions, you can check Sovereign Hill's website directly, and all kinds of information is very detailed.

2. Geelong Gilang
GEELONG Gilang ranks behind Melbourne and is Victoria's second-largest city. Although it's the second-largest city, the population is less than a fraction of Melbourne-just one hundred and sixty thousand. Less than 70 kilometers from Melbourne, she takes 55 minutes by V/Line, an intercity train, with a round-trip fare of about $18. From station 1 of Southern cross train station to V-LINE to geelong. Geelong's train station has a local map to pick up. It is suggested to take a copy of it, and when it comes to train station, it will be a beautiful JOHNSTONE PARK..
The most distinctive feature of Geelong is the coastal line of several portrait groups, each set of statues are telling a story.
At the same time, Geelong's view of the sea is also very beautiful.
In addition, the botanical garden in Geelong is also worth watching, and there are also many wooden people in it!
3. Bendigo, Bendigo.
It is still available at Melbourne's Southern Cross Station, within two hours, at a price of $15 / 20 and a round-trip price of around $30 / 40. When you arrive, you can still pick up a local tourist brochure in the station waiting room and leave the station north to the center of the city. After a walk, there will be a small street to visit.
In the 1880s, Bandigo sat on one of the world's richest gold mines, and this wealth was used to build magnificent buildings, including Bandigo City Hall, the newly restored Alexandria Fountain, art galleries and courts.
Bendigo Gallery (Bendigo Art Gallery) is Victoria's largest local gallery with outstanding 19th-century European, colonial and contemporary important works of art.
At the same time, as the 19th century gold rush ushered in many of the gold rush bendigo, is also known as the new golden mountains. Bendigo as an "art town", there is also a pottery gallery to make people feel the ceramic art
And after pinching, the boss will let you leave an address, burn the color and send it to you as a souvenir.
After experiencing this, the stomach must be a little hungry, and Mr. Mr Beebe's 's is a good place to try. The location is directly opposite the fountain in the center of the street, but its address cannot be accurately displayed on the map of google. (between 1880 and 1910, Mr Bibby was involved in many of Bendigo's landmark architectural designs, and he was also hailed as the most handsome mayor in Bendigo's history.) Walk into the dining room and you'll see the high ceiling of Victorian architecture, the beautiful hanging chandelier, and the glazed colored glass facing the window to see the grass across the street. Not only is the design of the dishes very up-to-date, they also offer an extra $15 lunch package! Beef burgers and hand-cut grilled potato strips; slow stew of mutton, tomato and rosemary risotto; smoked pork, fried white boiled eggs, bean mayonnaise salad and so on.
And this restaurant's dessert is also worth a try, may as well try their three different flavors of chocolate dessert platter!
