Oz Fest

After discussions Melbourne, Victoria has been chosen for Oz Fest 18. Oz Fest 04 (2007) was held in Melbourne, after the first 2 Oz Fest’s were held in Sydney followed by Brisbane. We repeat the sequence. The location of Melbourne will allow easy international & Australian domestic access for many people.

Oz Fest 17 BNE 2020 was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We tried again and Oz Fest 17 BNE 2021 had a smaller attendance than normal due to Australia not being open to international visitors, other than from New Zealand. Victoria had a Covid-19 outbreak so people from Victoria were not allowed to enter Queensland. In the end 12 from QLD, 5 from NSW and 2 from VIC (who escaped before the outbreak) attended. We had 2 from North America, residents of Sydney, who waved the flag for the internationals. Hopefully 2022 Australia will be open international visitors, but at this time that is far from certain.

The May USA Memorial Day weekend seems very popular with USA based Flyer-talkers, and that is the weekend that was most favoured by far. Again chosen that weekend - as we have for all other 17 Oz Fests. Around half the attendees are USA based at each Oz Fest (other than 2021).

That public holiday in the USA is Monday May 30, 2022 Remember if you leave Australia on afternoon of Monday May 30, you arrive back in the USA also early morning on Monday May 30. A lot of time, no matter where you live in the USA, to get back home, unpack, have an early night, and get organised for a day at work next day etc.

There have been 17 successful Oz Fests so far - in Sydney (3 times), Brisbane (2 times), Melbourne (2007), Hobart, Cairns, Adelaide, Darwin, Canberra, Perth, Alice Springs-Ayers Rock/Uluru, New Zealand, the Gold Coast, Newcastle & Noosa.
The weather for the past 17 Oz Fests has been in general, superb and sunny. Despite June 1st, being our official Winter start date. Even in Tasmania our most southern city, we were truly blessed with unusually nice weather. We all thought Canberra and Hobart would be a weather challenge for sure, but the Saturday and Sunday gave quite perfect weather.

A common FT access account for the ad-hoc organising committee titled “Oz Fest (Oz Fest Organisers)” was approved by the Flyertalk Community Director, and the early informational posts here in this thread will show as that account, so they can be edited at will by those involved.

Our ad-hoc Committee will be tracking attendees, and hotels, and flights, and activity sign ups etc in these early posts. These are incredibly time consuming to keep updated, and all attendees owe them a huge vote of thanks. Hopefully we can once again call on the falconea’s to be name tag/table tag supremos, and we are well on our way!

+++++++++++++
At the date of this post, Australia is closed to international visitors, other than from New Zealand. with no published date when the border will reopen. The Australian border will be tightly controlled while Covid-19 is a risk.

Australia is opened up to the world on 21 February 2022. Please refer to the government links in post 5.

Please keep the thread on topic: only Oz Fest 18 2022. Moderators will be asked to remove any and all discussion and/or comments on Australia’s & other countries Covid-19 policies and practises. Please keep it factual. Plenty of other threads & sub-forums for those Coviid-19 opinions and questions.

Here is an outline of the planned Itinerary. Things have changed since COVID-19 including costs, with substantial increases in prices compared to previous years.

Friday 27th May: 6pm As post 159 by serfty
Meet and Greet over drinks and light snacks - Pre-paid in order to get a dedicated venue space for ourselves..

This will be from 6pm until 8pm in "The Green House" at the "The General Assembly".

Saturday 28th May: 11am
Leisurely Walking Tour around the Kings Domain / Botanic Gardens, approx. 5km (3mi) - No charge for this.


Botanic Gardens 21 May 2022

The walk is up to maybe 8km (5 Miles) and take in a little of the Alexandra Gardens with a along the Yarra to the Kings Domain then along "The Tan" a bit through to the Botanic Gardens. After a leisurely meander including a short stop for a light lunch (purchase at "The Terrace" or BYO) we then arrive at the Gardens Visitor centre. From there we visit the Shrine of Remembrance and other memorials in the area. After that if you still feel energetic enough you can wander through the Victoria Gardens back to the CBD or catch a tram instead. I expect this all to take about three hours.

While rated "Easy" the walk can involve some inclines and a few stone steps - I suggest you wear comfortable sturdy shoes.

Please meet at Princes Bridge near Federation Square ( opposite Flinders St Station) 10:45am for 11:00am departure.

+++++++++++++++++++++

In late February – March we start to think about activities and talk to suppliers, vendors and restaurants, as by that time we have rough guide of attendee numbers. Before that time very little detailed planning happens. We set up a web based reservation system to book and pay for activities in late March-April.

Some activities require pre payment and others a commitment to attend. Some people attend all activities and others a few or maybe only the main Saturday night dinner. All are welcome albeit all or 1 activity. On the Friday some of the early attendees meet for self arranged lunch/what ever. People can start to arrive from Wednesday and some do not leave until the following Tuesday/Wednesday. Some people leave Oz Fest on the Sunday.

The Oz Fest team base costs on people attending activities based on known flights and the history of similar events attended. Due to commitments the Oz Fest team has made/will make to restaurants, suppliers and/or vendors no refunds are possible, unless another person takes your place. We often have to pay upfront for activities and/or restaurants. The cost includes the fees (~6%) Oz Fest pay to the reservation web site.

Generally Oz Fest has

• Friday evening drinks-dinner
• Saturday activity or activities. Sometimes a bus day trip
• Saturday evening Oz Fest dinner. Tends to get 100% participation
• Sunday activity or activities.
• Sunday evening casual dinner. Often self organised with no pre booking

Hotels

Hotels are listed in the online -->google doc link May need to click on hotel tab at the bottom.

Accommodation in Melbourne is from 5 star to backpacker. As anywhere, you get what you pay for. It is unlikely to be difficult to get accommodation on 27- 29 May. Many central city hotels cater to the business market so can have low occupancy (and lower rates) at weekends.

At the date of this post, Australia is closed to international visitors, other than from New Zealand. with no published date when the boarder will reopen. The Australian border will be tightly controlled while Covid-19 is a risk. In May 2022 some hotels may still be in the Victorian State Government 14 day Covid-19 quarantine program. People booking hotels are best to ensure they are fully refundable, or minimal cash penalty for cancellation. Check the reservation t&c’s.

Having one central hotel location that most folks use, is a very large plus
.
There are many international hotel chains are in Melbourne. The Accor, Choice, Hilton, IHG and Marriott(Starwood) chain property's are in Melbourne

Will be updated from time to time.

Transport to and in Melbourne
Air Travel & Melbourne Airport - MEL
Melbourne Airport has 4 terminals:-

• T1 Qantas domestic
• T2 International, including Qantas international
• T3 Virgin
• T4 Jetstar, REX and regional airlines

T1, T2 & T3 are in one modern building and its quick & easy to walk between the 3 areas. T4 is a short walk from T3
Flying time to Sydney 1:10 hrs, Brisbane 2 hrs, Adelaide 1:10 hrs & Perth 4 hours & New Zealand 3:30 hrs.

From the Airport
The airport is 20 km (15 miles) from the city centre. Options to get the city are taxi, rideshare, Skybus, shuttlebus, metro bus & rental car. There are no trains to/from the airport. The metro bus is a little difficult to use and not a direct airport to city service (901 bus then train - AFF link)


Taxi's
Cost $55~$75 and takes about 20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. There are taxi ranks outside T1 (Qantas domestic) & T3 (Virgin). The queue at T1 can be long, so it is often better to go right to the T3 taxi rank. T1 to T3 is ~75m.

• MEL airport web site: taxis
  • 13cabs
  • Silver Top
  • and others
  
  Beware of 3rd party web sites that are not the taxi operator.
  
  Ride Share
  • Uber Melbourne airport
  • Ola Melbourne airport
  
  Skybus
  The Skybus takes 20 minutes and costs from $15 one way (on line) and from $28 return (on line]. This service operates 24 hours, 7 days a week (pre Covid-19). Buses run every 10-15 minutes throughout the day and every 30-60 minutes overnight. These are modern buses set up for carrying & storing your own luggage on board. They go to a bus terminal on the edge of the city centre on Spencer St (near the Spencer St ~ Southern Cross rail station) or other city locations (see web site) At the bus terminal you can transfer to the smaller SkybusLink that will take you to your hotel in the central city area (at no extra charge). However at March 2020 SkybusLink was suspended. Getting back to the airport you need to phone Skybus. They will come and pick you up from your hotel and take you the bus terminal to get the main Skybus out to the airport.
  
  Shuttles
  Star Bus Shuttle
  Con-X-ion shuttle bus
  and others
  
  Rental Cars:
  Avis, Europcar, Hertz, Budget & Thrifty all have offices on the ground floor of the Short Term Car Park, and information desks in the Melbourne Airport domestic terminals. There is a ~$6.00 toll on the Tullamarine highway into the city. The toll cannot be paid by cash: it is all electronic.
  
  City Car Parking
  Very few central city hotels have free parking. Some do not even have paid parking, so parking your rental car is up to you. Car park buildings charge anything from $15 to $40 per day. The Crown Casino car park is one of the cheapest. The Melbourne City Council get a significant revenue from parking fines from street parking, so be careful parking on the street. Some streets have clearways in peak hours. Park in a clearway at the wrong time and your car will be towed away.
  Unless you really need a rental car do not hire one. Avis, Europcar, Hertz, Budget & Thrifty and other smaller rental car companies also have city depots (and without the airport hire fee or toll).
  
  Travelling in Melbourne
  Melbourne has a good public mass transport system of trains, buses and trams.
  Ticketing (Myki) is based on zone system (zone 1 & zone 2). Zone 1 is about a 10km~15 km circle around the city centre and is enough for most visitors to Melbourne. There are many of ticket types available, but the most common and most useful are time based and daily. The same myki ticket can be used on all trains, buses and trams, and with unlimited transfer's, within the zone.
  Links
  • Public Transport Victoria (PTV)
  • myki - your ticket to travel
  • myki has gone mobile
  • Metropolitan fares
  • Maps
  • Yarra Trams
  
  You’ll need a myki for your journey.
  • If you use a myki Pass, you’ll need to choose the zones you want to travel in and the number of consecutive days you need when you buy it.
  • If you use myki Money, your fare is automatically calculated as you touch on and touch off.
  
  
  There are three fare groups, based on metropolitan zones: Free Tram Zone, Zone 1+2 and Zone 2 only
  Myki card tickets can be purchased from train stations, on buses, on trams, at some tram stops and from some shops (who will have a blue Metro flag outside). Not all ticket types can be purchased on buses & trams. After you buy the Myki card ticket, a machine at the train station or on the bus or tram validates the ticket (touch on/off). With the Myki card you touch on (swipe) on trams (but do not touch off), touch on at train stations and touch off at train stations. There is a android phone app, but contactless credit card touch on/off [swipe] is not supported. Travelling without a ticket is a small crime (roving inspectors check tickets).
  
  Main myki ticket types (in order of most useful)
  • Zone 1+2: daily $9.00 (all day travel in Zones 1+2)
  • Zone 1+2: 2hours $4.60 (min 2 hrs up to 2:59 hrs travel in Zone 1+2)
  • Zone 1+2: weekly $45.00 (7 consecutive day's travel in Zone 1+2)
  
  
  Maps of the Metro network are available from the web site, train stations, shops that sell Myki tickets and tourist information locations.
  
  Train & Trams run from 6:00 am to about midnight. Melbourne has one of the largest tram networks in the world. Buses from 6:00 am to about 8:00 pm depending on route. Also Melbourne has a few night buses that run in the early hours of the morning out to the suburbs from the city centre.
  
  Free City Circle Tram
  There are free city trams that go around the outside of the city centre (both clockwise and anti-clockwise). A good way for visitor's to get an appreciation of the city. They are old 1930's style tram's painted maroon, so easy to identify.

I'm coming if Australia is open to me.

restlessinRNO

We would love to attend. Sadly we missed meeting our Australian friends at OzFest 17 in Brisbane due to Covid-19. Previously I had managed to attend the previous 15 OzFests.

tom911

If Australia is open, I'll be there. Should know in a few weeks if friend #1 and friend #2 want to tag along for this one and will update if they commit.

serfty

Looking forward to it ...

doug_westcott

I was all set to go but sadly missed on this year’s OZ Fest at the last moment due to the Victorian lockdown. Looking forward to next year in Melbourne.
