From Concrete Jungle to Winter Wonderland
They say it’s not the destination but the journey that makes it all worthwhile, and when it comes to snow holidays the journey itself can be a very polarising.
While some love the idea of hitting the road during the early hours of the morning, making pit stops to quirky places, and sight-seeing, others can find it very daunting. From what kind of fuel to put in your car so it doesn’t freeze in subzero temperatures, and how chains are fitted on when roads are too icy, to those excruciatingly long hours, it can be very stressful getting to any alpine in Australia.
Services run directly from Melbourne to Falls Creek once a day and start at Spencer St from 9:30am. This means a sleep in is possible, before you get to the bus depot at Firefly departures, and while you’re on the road
Falls Creek Coaches was developed to take the best moments of travelling to the mountain without the hassles associated. Services run directly from Melbourne to Falls Creek once a day and start at Spencer St from 9:30am. This means a sleep in is possible, before you get to the bus depot at Firefly departures, and while you’re on the road.
All the drivers are very friendly who make sure that no guests left behind. If you are running a little late, the team will give you a call to see where you are and make sure that you get on the bus safely. If you decide to have a causal chat during your trip with the bus drivers, they are always happy to give you some insider advice about Falls Creek; where to go, what to eat, closest chair lifts and rental stores etc.
The atmosphere in the bus is very relaxed, on your journey a movie plays on the TV screen and a menu sits at your seat. Like all good road trips a stop to stretch out your legs and have some food is important. Falls Creek Coaches work closely with Seven Creeks Hotel, a 4.6 star pub hidden away in Euroa, who will cater to your food desires. They are a simple phone call away while you’re on the bus and will have your order warm and ready for you as soon as you enter to doors.
When you arrive to the winter wonderland that is Falls Creek, our drivers will ask you if this is your first time, if you have any questions or would like any more insider information.
Falls Creek aims to ensure that your entire experience is a wonderful one that starts before you even see the snow peaks.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
