I recommend going to a B&B rather than a hotel. Usually they have nicer rooms and better atmosphere. You can get places with family rooms.
There are plenty around. Have a google for B&B and Melbourne.
havent been to melbourne for 10 years but i dont think you will get to puffing billy by tramQuote:

What part of Melbourne are you staying in ? It's a big place and it depends on the budget.
i dont know, my better half wanted to stay at the casino but it isnt very child freindly and freaked out when she found out the price:eek:
i will do want grunt said and google
we will get the xpt train down there and fly home
Wotif.... use it all the time.
Farm boy, the best thing about Melbourne is the Western hwy :D and im not sure if you can catch a tram to puffing billy, but you can puff a billy and catch a tram:cool:
We are staying at Southbank Apartments, when we land there next month......$159 a night inc brekky for the 2 of us and reasonably close to everything.

And then continue with it (the western hwy) straight to Perth:DQuote:

Don't know about accommodation but with transport you buy a daily or weekly ticket for the zones you wish to travel in.
There 3 zones and prices vary accordingly, the ticket covers train and trams and you just slide them into a machine at the station or on the tram.
Puffing Billy doesn't run on Total Fire Ban days, and watch out for a face full of soot when you do get on it:D :D :D
Your local RAC (NMRA) should be able to offer deals re accommodation.
Heres a link for The Met maps and ticketing which may be of interest
