Crossing from west/north suburbs to east/south suburbs with PT or a car and vice versa is a pain in the ass so that's a huge barrier to travelling across all sides of metro Melbourne easily. The Metro Tunnel will change that somewhat from a PT standpoint. I'll be able to go to places on the Cranbourne / Pakenham line without changing trains, so planning a day checking out those parts of the city over the holidays. What should I go see?!
I live in a middle/outer NW suburb so travelling to only things close to me isn't really an option, most of my work and social activities take me to inner north / western suburbs and the CBD. Rarely do I travel to the east/south unless I visit a couple of friends that live in the Bayside area, or if I want to visit a bay beach. Anyway, I think it's a great idea for your Meetup group to cross over and experience places in Melbourne you haven't visited. Yarraville / Seddon is a great pick for those from the east side. Footscray as well.
