Transport options off the mountain

[FatBoyDave]

Hi, I have a teenager who has to be back in Melbourne for Monday.
Her Mum is willing to drive to meet her but hoping there are some options to get a bus off the mountain to at least meet her part of the way.
So far I can only see the official fallscreekcoachservice.

Is anyone aware of any other providers?
Just wanting to see all the options.

Thanks.

A few options come to mind, but you should check connectivity, cost and convenience etc

Bus FC to Melb Airport / Southern Cross station
Bus FC to Albury / Train to Melb
Bus FC to Albury / Fly to Melb

Oh yeah, forgot about Covid, so Albury may not be a great option at the moment

Fallscreekcoaches look they have as a Sunday timetable:
Falls to Mt Beauty (a few options on the sunday)
Falls to Myrtleford or to Euroa (departs Falls at 8:30am or at 5pm)

Was just seeing if there are any other providers...

But also there are private transfer options:

Getting Here in Summer

Getting to Falls Creek Located in North-East Victoria, Falls Creek is less that 2 hours’ drive from Albury-Wodonga, 4.5 hours from Melbourne, or an easy day’s drive from Sydney. There are a range of transport options available, including self-driving, coach buses, public transport, private...

I don't think I've ever seen the Falls Bus, but the Falls Creek Coach bus I've seen heaps, and my family have caught it previously and had no issue (my Nephew loved that it stopped at the Euroa pub, so you could pre-order food and smash it down).

Private transfers

• https://www.mtbeautytransfers.com.au/ (these guys are good)
• also Falls Creek Coaches

V/Line have a bus that connects with train at Wangaratta. Not sure which days the Mt Beauty leg is included. But private transfer to Bright is possible

@currawong do you know the ballpark for a private transfer return?

Weekly parking is just under $500 (basically same as resort season pass), so I'd be interested how it stacks up financially.
