Following are web links to some of the places that we have visited throughout our stay in
Australia, both in Melbourne and in Sydney.

-
Mount Buller
-
Mt. Buller is
the #1 choice for those looking to 'Live it up' in the snow this
winter (Australian winter, that is!) With 263 hectare skiable
terrain, Mt. Buller has conditions to suit everyone from novices
taking their first lessons to expert skiers and boarders. With
a comprehensive network of 25 lifts, Mt. Buller has the largest
lifting capacity of any Victoria ski area.
-
ScienceWorks Museum
-
Pull it, push
it, spin it, bang it. At ScienceWorks Museum, you can really get a
grasp of science. Through hands-on exhibits, live
demonstrations, activities and shows, the whole family can have fun
exploring the mysteries of science and technology. It's a
great value day out for curious minds and active bodies.
Michael was one of the lucky
participants in the BASF Fun with Chemistry workshops held only on 4
Saturdays at ScienceWorks. He actually conducted experiments
using different chemicals. He was given a certificate as a
Junior Chemist.
-
Melbourne Planetarium
-
The first
digital planetarium in the Southern Hemisphere, the Melbourne
Planetarium is a mind-expanding universe. Using some of the
most stunning images of outer space ever shown together with awesome
special effects, a planetarium show will take you to the stars and
beyond while you recline in comfortable seats.
