    Go see the penguins. They're so cute. It will be completely freezing though but you can warm up after

    Mt buller?

    Sovereign hill is fun. They have night shows as well

    You could try getting beaten up at Crown or perhaps a knife fight in Kings St but might not be kid friendly.

    We are going to the island this weekend - fingers crossed for no rain! What about Daylesford/Hepburn Springs??! Only about 1 1/2 hours?

    in which case there's the Aquarium. Warmer than a beach in the middle of Winter and they have penguins. The kids are probably too small for the old melbourne gaol. It creeps me out but I'm a sook. There's the childrens garden at botanic gardens or Scienceworks. Or the childrens farm at Abbotsford convent. Or boating at Studley park.

    we did a farm stay down at phillip island when the twins were 3 years old and it was awesome. it was in winter as well. the farm owners were great and let the kids collect and use the eggs for breaky, and showed them around the farm. we had our own cottage as well so it was great for a family. whilst down there we did the penguins etc a really good quick get away.
    we have also done a weekend down queenscliff- not much around but a nice place and we did one down at warnabool as well
    have a look on take a break to see what is around for a last minute deal
    definately recommend a farmstay if you get the chance!!!
