Places worth for visiting during winter season (June) in Melbourne, Sydney %26amp; Gold Cost?
Well I live here, and really I would do Sydney opera house for sure.I would also do HARBOUR CRUISE


I would also do the Featherdale Wildlife(I live close to it) and its good.


I would see Queen Victoria Building.


Bondi Beach and also Coogee beach.


AND A MUST go eat at Doyles at Watsons bay in Sydney!!!


Its expensive...so save extra...and a final one for Sydney Blue Mountains is a must.Go see the 3 sisters at Katoomba.


wonderful! and...for fun take the coal train down into the valley!!!


It wonderful...really.....we just love it.


Any others in Sydney just scrap that you wrote down...they are mainly time wasters...But! go to the Rocks, and have a lunch just near the Opera house, but other side ..Just ask people...It can be walked anyway....See Ken Done art gallery! a must.


As far as other places...I can only talk about Sydney..sorry
Reply:You will absolutely love Pacific Fair shopping centre in southport on the Gold Coast. You also have to check out Harbour Town, which is on the Gold Coast Highway, between Pacific Fair and Dreamworld. There is also a little shop in the main street of the gold coast called Vampires. It's a little quirky, but worth checking out, as well as Rippley's... believe it or not. The Crawn Casino in Melbourne (where I live) is pretty exciting. It's right in the heart of the City, walking distance to melbourne's ccentral business District. So if you can escape the tour for a bit, explore Eastbank and the great restaurants, cafe's and shops along the way. The Victoria Market is great to find a bargain, so don't forget to take your wallet with you :-p I'd try and ditch the cattle farm.... Cows... cow dung... smelly farm... enough said. And the Phillip Island penguins... oh so cute. It's usually at dusk when the tourist arrive for the penguins. It's a nice drive through the city traffic lol. It's a shame though that you miss out on seeing the rest of Gippsland, places like Wonthaggi are such nice little towns to visit. but anyway, you already sound like you are going to see so much. I hope you have the time of your life.
Reply:I live in Melbourne, so here are my tips;





Melbourne City Tour


Phillip Island Penguin Nature Park - A must, but in winter it will be bitterly cold, so wear lots of warm clothes - preferably in layers (eg a coat over a jumper over a t shirt over a singlet, etc)


Mt. Buller (Snow Mountain) - Pray for snow


Great Ocean Road - Beautiful any time of year


Visit of Queen Victoria Market, Bourke Street Mall, Paddy Market - A must


* Warrock Cattle Farm - Never heard of it - so do it!


* Crown Casino Complex - you don't need to go on a tour to visit Crown, it's free to look around.





I'm sure you will have lots of fun, no matter what you do!





Cheers,





Libby
Reply:I live in Melbourne and the places you listed there are fine - except for Paddy's Market which is in Sydney.





Never heard of Warrock Cattle Farm but it doesn't sound very exciting. Melbourne can get cold in winter so go to the casino, it's the biggest and most exciting in Australia (if you like that sort of thing).





Keep the outdoor visits for Brisbane and, to a lesser extent, Sydney (which can also get cold in winter).





Perhaps you can tell us which country you're coming from and what ages/sex the group are so we can help you some more.
