G'day Ross,

You might want to look for the Sydney mongers .. we're are about 
900km away (or 1400km via the costal road).

Of course, you may well know this or not mind. If you'd like to come 
along there's some great drives. Have a look at 
http://www.biztravel.com/TRAVEL/SIT/sit_pages/10811.html for a 
four-day driving tour. (Of course there's hour-long-flights every 
half-hour or so and an overnight or day train trip.)

If you decide to come to Melbourne (in Victoria) you'll find yourself 
in one of the world's 'Most Livable Cities' (equal first with 
Vancouver) and the 'cultural' capital of Australia. There's always 
something going on here, although winter does tend to be a time of 
hibernation. Have a look at the city's website 
(http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/) for activities and events.

Cheers!
Rick
