Ocean Grove to Avalon for Jetstar mornings
Avalon is about 45 km from Ocean Grove (from $100) — a strong fit for Jetstar and other Avalon flights when you want a shorter peninsula hop than Tullamarine.
We time leave-home for Barwon Heads Road / Geelong traffic and the Avalon industrial approach, especially on early waves and summer weekends when the town is already busy.
