    Have you thought about basing yourself in a larger regional town and going for day drives? This is my FAVOURTIE thing to do with the kids. We go to really small country towns and find the best playgrouds and places to explore. Alot of the smaller towns have big old steam engines for the kids to climb up onto and look around and we just find it really interesting. Might just be our weirdness though.

    I'd suggest Bendigo, Echuca, Shepp for places to go. Ballarat just doesn't seem as family friendly (although that could just be because I grew up in Bendigo and we have a rivalry apparently). I STILL haven't taken my kids to kidstiwn in Shepp. Must do that this coming hoildays. It looks really good.

    I live near Echuca, it is kind of cold at the moment but I don't think it is that bad. They have the billabong ranch there that the kids might like.

    beechworth is lovely, it has the old lollie shop (weathers not too bad out this neck of the woods) bright has some interestings stuff. and some nice places to stay too. the drive from wangaratta to bright is really nice (we did about 1/2 of it two weeks ago, and there was snow, lol)
    wang's good too. got some nice craravan parks, more motels then you can poke a stick at. there is an indoor play center too that said we're 3 n a bit hours from melbs.
