Touched down Melbourne Airport or Tullamarine Airport at 8:20 am (or 6:20 am Malaysia time) on 16th April 2014 by taking the AirAsia X for about 8 hours flight from Kuala Lumpur LCCT had given new experience in my travel logbook. (Knowing long travelling is tiring but many do believe that it is help in improving our mood and reducing stress. I do believe that taking a break from our daily routines at home or at work can really prolong life and I wish the travel logbook can rejuvenate all and start planning your own holiday trips.)
The simple easy access of direction sign board in the second busiest airport in Australia was so good that we got on board directly to the SkyBus by purchasing the family return ticket at $70 aussie without second thought after leaving the airport customs. The SkyBus is the express bus that bring us to the city centre at Southern Cross Station and a complimentary hotel transfer service is also provided to us by using its shuttle bus. We reached the Tune Hotel early before the official check-in time at 2pm. Paying $2 per luggage for safe keeping in the Tune Hotel, we started our first day in Melbourne - free and easy travel holiday.

As shown in the above Google Map, it is 25-minute drive from the airport to Tune Hotel stopover Southern Cross Station with a driving distance of about 26 kilometers but the SkyBus did show a 20-minute ride to Southern Cross Station on the board. (Just click the above google map for better viewing if needed.)
Tune Hotel Melbourne is new and located at the upper end of Swanston Street (a historical street) intersected with Queensberry Street. We was told that it had over 80% occupancy rate during our stay.
