How far is the Morning Star mine site from Melbourne?
The Morning Star is a comfortable three to three and a half hour drive from most parts of Melbourne. Best to travel via the Eastern Freeway out of Melbourne, towards the Yarra Valley (Healesville then Marysville), which is very picturesque route via the famous ‘Black Spur’. Tullamarine Airport is more like a 2.5hrs drive from the mine site via the Western Ring Road then Christmas Hills and Yarra Glen. With plenty of new freeway work going on near Melbourne, please check your maps!
