Reviewers – Lee & Nikki

While driving back from filming our video review at The Barwon Heads Pub I thought to myself "This drive sucks. I wonder if there's an easier way to get to this side of town".

I did a bit of googling and came across Port Phillip Ferries, a ferry company offering daily trips across the bay from Melbourne to Portarlington (and sometimes trips to & from Geelong when the footy is on). It looked like a fun idea so I tucked it away for a few months, then last weekend when I saw we finally had a break in our string of horrible weather we made plans to take the ferry down to Portarlington - And what else is there to do in Portarlington other than hit the pub and check out what sort of parma the town has on offer?

Up bright and early the ferry departs from behind Etihad stadium (Marvel Stadium, if you're reading this in the future ... This review is going to age horribly, isn’t it?) at 11am on Saturdays, $29 for a return ticket.
