Visit Beautiful New Zealand too!
Since you're coming all the way to Australia, why not visit New Zealand just a four hour flight from Melbourne. It has a remarkable array of scenery and attractions in a country about the same size as Japan or Korea, and with a population of only 3.3 million. Confirmation of your registration to attend APORS'97 will include further information regarding tours to New Zealand.
Departure Tax
This is now included in the price of each airline ticket. It is recommended that you confirm this when arranging your ticket.
Passport/Visa Requirements
A current passport is required by anyone entering Australia. Nationals from most overseas countries require a visa for entry into Australia and from some areas, vaccinations are required. Please check with your travel agent or an Australian Government representative in your home country as early as possible for up-to-date information on visas and immunisation requirements. Visas may be obtained from the nearest Australian High Commission, Embassy or Consulate.
How to Reach Melbourne City from Tullamarine Airport
Buses from Melbourne City leave at regular intervals from Tullamarine Airport at a cost of approximately AUD9.00 one way.

Taxis are also available at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport to take you directly to your accommodation at a cost of approximately AUD25.00 one way. (These costs are correct at the time of printing.)
