Directions

From the Airport
Catch the Skybus to city (Southern Cross Station). In Bourke St catch the 86 (RMIT Bundoora) tram to and along Smith Street Collingwood and get off at Johnston Street. Ignore the numbers on the street sign and cross Smith street and walk east down the hill two blocks to 137-139 Johnston Street Collingwood. (Between Wellington & Hoddle Streets). If you catch a taxi (about $55.00 from airport, and around $15.00 from City) tell the driver Johnston Street Collingwood, NOT Johnston St Fitzroy - they seem to get it wrong. If you get lost or will be delayed, just call us
