Due to the Geelong Rail Line being down due to upcoming works, VicGov has worked with Port Phillip Ferries to provide free ferry tickets for weekday commuters using their morning Geelong-Docklands and evening Docklands - Geelong ferry service.

You need to pre-book a free ticket online and also carry with you a myki card, which ferry staff will sight upon boarding (it will not be charged).

Ferry Schedule
Geelong to Docklands – Monday to Friday – Depart 7.00 am – Arrive 8.35 am ​​
Docklands to Geelong – Monday to Friday – Depart 5.30 pm – Arrive 7.05 pm
Boarding commences 20 mins prior to departure and closes 3 min before departure.

The Geelong dock is at Steampacket Pier and the Docklands Dock is at Victoria Harbour.

  2 hour commute, screw that.

  Might as well work in Sydney while living in Melbourne's West.

    Yes, everyone should move to Western Melbourne to avoid 4 weeks of delays.

    I think I’ll just catch the ferry.

  Does Anzac Day count as a weekday? Wouldn’t mind visiting Geelong for a day trip….

    Ignore my question, yes it works on 25/4, but it’s more suited for people travelling from Geelong going into Docklands rather than the other way round

  Where's the best place to park, surely that pier car park is going to be full quick

    Geelong Station is probably your best bet. About a 10 minute walk away.

        Forget the car parking at Geelong Station. it will pack as people attend Magistrates' Court for their hearing. Geelong Magistrates' Court is close to Geelong Station.

          @Dark Zeus: I’m not a local but considering the morning ferry leaves at 7am, would there still be spots or would it be full by then?

  It seems to long to get from Geelong to Docklands and then return with limited travel options; will this change?

    Not quite sure what you’re asking. If you’re asking if you get from Melbourne to Geelong quicker than the rail replacement buses and ferry without driving, I doubt it, short of hiring a chopper or private boat.
