Before I forget, there's a website called White Hat that covers things to do in Melbourne. It's very community-oriented and it's not-for-profit and has some great ideas. Pretty daggy website but they also have a newsletter that you can subscribe to that they send to you on Friday arvos - it's a bit quirky but good.

Bath- your weekends sound absolutely divine. I'm often in Borders too on the weekend - we may have sat next to each other!

Rainforest - thanks for the Olinda and Pig & Whistle tip, I'll put it on the list!

Must say all these country drives are setting me off on another 'let's have a treechange' obsession. I think it's something to do with winter too - always makes me want to be in a big country house, next to a log fire and watching DD run around a big backyard rugged up to within an inch of her life then coming in to eat a hearty stew.
