last time i heard my fren saying there's a place in melbourne tat v can c snow...anyone any idea?? :P

there isn't any snow in Melb but you can go to the mountains where there is snow. they're several hours away.

if you really want to see the penguins you can try your luck if you have the time. they're very cute. i've been a few times, sometimes there's hundreds sometimes just a couple. but it is FREEZING

the coastal areas like Lorne etc are also freezing being near the sea.

it has hardly rained at all here this winter. we're actually having a water shortage.

the gold mines probably means sovereign hill or ballarat.

I have only been to South West Australia. Had a self drive holiday there last year. It was superb! I recommend self drive holidays there. You can see lots more and take your time at each destination

Yah, we went to the glouchester tree, tree top walk, jewel cave, canal rocks, pinnacles, etc. Each one is an attraction on its own. Can't decide whether the forest, beach or the pinnacles is the best

I like Sydney and Tasmania the most!!

The food in Aussie is great!

There's a restaurant called Hurricane at Bondi Beach which is famous for pork ribs, their breads are also tasty too!! The pork ribs are really so so delicious!! And the ice cream in Aussie, I missed them very much!!

As for Tasmania, it's a good place for relaxing!!

I think it's juz like another mini New Zealand.

Having tea and scones at the Shot Tower is really nice!!

You can really relax there, juz eat, walk and sleep!! haha!!

Don't forget to walk along the wharfs in Tasmania as the fishing boats come back in and buy fresh oysters by the bucket or eat wonderfully fresh scallops and prawns!

Was studying in Warrnambool (3 hours west from Melbourne) so got to visit some small towns around there like Port Fairy. Also visited the Great Ocean Road to see those rock formations. The air there is very refreshing. Enjoyed having my meals at the pubs. Also been to Melbourne. Transport wise is quite good and convenient. Been to Brisbane but only visited Movie World. Love the steaks in Australia. :D

I'm sure you've been there, at Docklands, if you've already met Mr Nic Cage ;)
