In Australia, the fare to the airport is quite expensive. Taxi fares to Perth, Melbourne and Sydney airports are among the most expensive in the world, according to a recent survey.
In fact, eye-catching offers from some websites are likely to happen: airport fares are more expensive than low-cost airfares. Dedicated airport buses are not the cheapest. Airport buses and trains usually cost several times as much as a regular bus, making people think the airport is far away.
But there is a way to save money. If you don't have much luggage, you have plenty of time, and you're willing to give up fancy taxis or specialised services, you can take a regular bus to the airport and save enough money to have a lunch.

From there, walk 5 km along Kennedy Road and Holyman Road to the airport. If you're a grizzly miser with a small backpack and a sunny day, you can challenge it.
