Showers at MEL for arrivals?
 
Not really about miles and points, except that this is an award ticket.

I have an award ticket from Europe to Melbourne in August, in First, on CX. (I realize the leg from HKG through ADL to MEL is two-class, essentially Business and the class on the ticket says "U", but the miles paid for the award is based on First and I am in First on Europe to HKG and back if that matters.) It's a long trip, and I'm meeting people shortly after I deplane but before I get to a hotel.

Here's the question: Is there an "Arrivals" amenity at MEL that allows (gratis) showers for pax in my situation? If so, how do I access it?

If there is none, I may have to find something during the layover in HKG and hit the deodorant just before landing in MEL.

Thanks for any guidance.

No arrivals facility but according to the MEL website there are public showers in T2.

Thanks. Darn.

There's a six-hour layover in HKG. I'll be coming in in First, but won't be terminating there. Is there a shower facility CX pax have access to at HKG? Preferably air-side so I wouldn't need to go through immigration (and security)?

There are very nice shower facilities in the CX lounges at HKG.

Thanks!

Are the lounges on air-side? (i.e., an incoming passenger wouldn't have to pass through customs/immigration to get to them, and wouldn't have to pass through security when going from the lounge to the plane.)

A bath! Fantastic; just right after the long flight! Thanks.

Thank you all for the information and fast responses. FlyerTalkers are really great.
