    V/Line web page says:

    Where can I currently use myki?
    myki can be used on:
    • all metropolitan trains, trams and buses within Zones 1 + 2;
    • V/Line trains travelling:
    • Wholly within metropolitan Melbourne Zones 1 + 2 , (between Melbourne and Ardeer, Deer Park, Rockbank, Melton, Diggers Rest, Sunbury, Craigieburn, and Pakenham).
    • On the Geelong line, all stations between and including Melbourne and Marshall.
    • On the Ballarat line, all stations between and including Melbourne and Wendouree.
    • On the Bendigo line, all stations between and including Melbourne and Eaglehawk.
    • On the Seymour line, All stations between and including Melbourne and Seymour.
    • On the Gippsland line, all stations between and including Melbourne and Traralgon.
    Regional town buses in Ballarat, Geelong, Bendigo, Seymour and the Latrobe Valley.
    myki cannot currently be used on:
    • V/Line train and coach services outside the V/Line commuter station areas (listed above)....

    Which means that we have found yet another quirk of Myki and V/Line.
    Geelong to Ballarat direct via coach is within the V/Line commuter area but Myki is not valid on the coaches, yet it seems that Myki is valid on the Melbourne - Cowes/Inverloch coach services :?
    And I tried to find the fare for Myki to Cowes on both the Myki web site, and the PTV web site, and couldnt't find anything that came close to giving me an answer.
