PART TWO

GETTING TO OUR HOME FROM PERTH AIRPORT By yourself.
 
Coming here by yourself is cheap and easy, we use public transport when going too and from the airport ourselves.
MOST people reach us within 1 hr 15 min or so, from getting on the bus at the airport.

SOME OF YOU may want to visit Perth City, before coming to our house - Use this site http://malandlee.com/Bus_to_train.pdf

This site http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/journey-planner  Is a good resource

The reason we have two sets of instructions are.

1. Families with small children - we pick up.

2. Perth Airport operates 24/7, public transport does not, hence we pick up "after hours".

3. WE ARE UNABLE TO PICK UP FREE. We charge a flat rate of $20 PER CAR - NOT PER PERSON. 

COMING TO US FROM THE INTERNATIONAL/DOMESTIC AIRPORT T1, T2, T3 & T4. By yourself.

1. It is actually quicker to make your way here by yourself.

2. When paying CHOOSE ZONE THREE - $5.60. This will make sense to you when you board the bus

3. Use this site http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/journey-planner to plan the journey from both DOMESTIC & INTERNATIONAL

4. Your destination is KELMSCOTT RAILWAY STATION. 

5. We will pick you up at Kelmscott Station. (See above instructions for your train journey to us, especially when you EXIT Kelmscott)

6. It Takes around an HOUR or so, after boarding the bus at the airport - to me picking you up at Kelmscott.

• ASK the bus driver to drop you off at "Burswood Station" (This is what we do) - it is a SHORT WALK TO THE TRAIN

• TWO Trains leave from Burswood station, it is "pot luck" which one will leave after you get there.

• You want the Armadale one, HOWEVER, you can catch the THORNLIE Train and change at either OATS St or CANNINGTON. To the Armadale line.

•  Listen whilst you are on the train, there are announcements EVERY step of the journey to Kelmscott.

1. If your English is poor, email me and I will send your “Journey Plan” in *.PDF format,

Coming to us from the INTERNATIONAL/Domestic AIRPORT T1, T2, T3 & T4.
(THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR THE TIMES WHEN WE DO PICK YOU UP)

PICK-UP INTERNATIONAL/Domestic AIRPORT. (Experience tells us it is NEVER easy at the airport)

• ESSENTIAL: WE NEED YOUR FLIGHT NUMBER So that we can check the arrival ONLINE.

• This is VERY important as flights are often delayed and some are early.

• Without your flight number, we CANNOT go to the airport - all we can do is wait until you call us.

1. Lee will go to the exit area of the international/Domestic Airport – meet and greet – then escort you to our car.

2. Lee will be INSIDE the airport, NOT outside. She will be holding a sign with your name on it.

3. She will be looking for you - please help by looking out for her.

Doc%20TREE/Website%20Pictures/REVISED%20FULL%20WEBSITE%2015-9-18/

INTERNATIONAL: We will arrive there NO EARLIER than 40 minutes after your plane lands. This will give you plenty of time to collect bags and navigate immigration and customs.
We CANNOT park there, or even wait a few minutes, but, we CAN pick up there.
The 40 minutes “after the plane lands”, will mean that some people will be waiting a short time. Other people will, for whatever reason have a delayed exit.

2. Mal will be circling the airport – average about 5-6 times….

DOMESTIC: We will arrive there NO EARLIER than 15 minutes after your plane lands. We cannot park there, but, we CAN pick up there.
The 15 minutes “after the plane lands”, will mean that some people will be waiting a short time. Other people will, for whatever reason have a delayed exit.

PLEASE NOTE SOME DOMESTIC FLIGHTS ARRIVE AT TERMINAL TWO - Please check carefully.

Of course we cannot wait here for ever, if after 90 minutes of your plane landing, we have NOT heard from you – we will go home and await contact from you.

It will be good if we can exchange pictures and get your telephone number (if you have one). Our pictures are on THE PAGE YOU ARE READING NOW as is a picture of our car.
An SMS is inexpensive, even on most roaming plans. PLEASE try and contact us if you are delayed.
