Hi Ray and Simone

I would say from the few people I've spoken to, Sunday is the day, as it's the last day and there's a few bargains to be had [apparently]...last year we met at a designated door number and I guess we'll do the same again and probably head somewhere in southbank for a drink...we can work that out later...

Re Sovereign Hill...Trucky is right, it's not a taxi ride, however, there are daytrips that you can take from Melbourne..hotel pick up etc that will take you there...

heres a couple of links
