MEL - how busy will it be on Boxing Day?

[puchu]

Hello all,

I usually avoid travelling on festive-adjacent days but I find myself flying international early-ish on Boxing Day from MEL this year. Trying to gauge my airport timings - am I likely to find it a ghost town as everyone prepares for day 1 of the test, or is it more likely to be rammed full of travellers?

Although the peak should have passed, you won’t find it a ghost town. Many people are still beginning their summer/northern winter holidays and not all of them are going to the cricket.
