Hi from New Zealand,
I have been to Melbourne(only takes about 3 hours from Auckland) quite a few times on business and holidays and have found it to be a most enjoyable place. By all means visit the wine country but be careful of how many free tasting tipples you have. It can get a bit messy. An evening trip down the Yarra river is well worth a look at , as is a trip to the nearly new casino. If you are a steak man, you have got to grab a taxi and go to Lazaars restaurant(not the night club of the same name) and have one of their steaks. I go there everytime I am inMelbourne and have never been disappointed yet.There are some world class shows on as well downtown. I think a couple of nights ago there was an ad on the radio for a package trip to Melbourne to see the "LionKing", a show I would like to see myself. I hope this has given you a few ideas and I hope you have a good time. Maybe you might have to visit NZ on business sometime and we could have a few coldies.
Regards,
John S
