Hi All,

I am soon to head down to Melbourne (I live in Sydney) to get Jim Mock to work some magic on my car. I need to know how to get one of those passes for Melbourne's auotmatted tolls.

I rang the Citilink number 13 26 29 but just got a list of menus with no option to speak to an operator - I don't even know what pass I want to buy!

It said somewhere in the information that I can pick them up from a post office or a shell petrol station. Can someone shead some light on this for me?

Does this mean I can pick one up from a post office in Sydney?

go to a shell petrol station and buy a day pass, it can be purhcased anytime withing 48hours of using the tolls. or if ur down for the weekend then buy a weekend pass

Do you have an electronic tag for the tolls here in Sydney? If so, that'll work in Melbourne, too.

As for getting a day pass in Melbourne... dunno, but apprently servos sell them. I'd presume you'd only be able to buy them in Melbourne, but a Melbournite should be able to correct me if I'm wrong.

Buy a daypass for the date required, the site explains what you get, if you pre-book a pass for the weekend, then you can travel through the tolls from lunchtime friday to midnight sunday as many times as you like.

Cool, thanks for all the info.
Will post a thread in inline 6 tech on how it all went.

Just use the Western ring road, and you wont go near E Tag roads.
And it comes out near Altona.
Check out
www.whereis.com.au
that will give you the best route to take, make sure you take the without tolls option.

Laurz

you can get passes from Aust Post.

Heres a tip for when dealing with annoying phone menu systems:

Press 9 repeatedly and it will put you through to a customer service rep instead of proceeding through the stupid options which dont even have what your looking for.

Yeah go through the Western Ring route.

Good luck with the JMM mods, Jim and Brendan are top blokes and do an awesome job, I have just had mine done there. What do you drive???

The car is a 95 EF Manual.
It will be getting:
DEV5 Kit
Race Series Headers (HPC coated)
Race Series Intake

It just got some DBA slotted disc (front and rear) + bendix pads yesterday.

Will let every one know how it goes (+ some pics hopefully) with a thread in the Inline 6 tech forum when it's done.

Thanks again for all the help.
I plan on just buying a pass at a Shell Servo when I get into Victoria.
