    Yep definitely no snow... DH works in Ballarat and he said it was freezing but all clear on the snow front. Prediction is to snow down to 500m, and Ballarat is 400m above sea level so will miss any predications this time around

    I must admit though Ballarat is much nicer to visit in the spring time when the weather is nicer and all the leaves are on the trees and you can enjoy the playground at Lake Wendouree and all the other outdoor activites. In winter is is dull, miserable and freezing cold...

    My suggestions would be Bendigo, Phillip Island, Paynsville, Shepparton. Echuca is lovely really like it there we grew up not far from there so went often.

    It was 18 here today. But still felt cold due to an icy wind. However Swan Hill is just over your three hour drive time. Hope you find somewhere cool.
