Not that it's really relevant...but anyways...

The drive between NSW and Victoria is very nice and scenic.
Multiple routes can take you through either snow, mountain, or heavily forrested areas. Nice long drive, a lot of cool diners in between...cool whichever route you take.

There's also a little hippy town up north from me...up past the touristy location of "byron bay", around 6 hours drive from here, it's called Nimbin. The govt kinda swept it under the rug so to speak...it's like little amsterdam. For real. I've only been once, but it's like smokers cafes, weed getting sold on the street, hash, cookies, salvia divinorium, wormwood, but yeah...mostly about the weed, and shrooms are seasonal.
The whole town is a trip...so chilled out and in the middle of miles of nowhere...naturally, their food ROCKS too...and everything, including accomodation, is dirt cheap.
Great scenic road trip, great desitination.

If I travel around half an hour north, there's this cool place called the Galstone Gorge. Basically it's a long winding road that goes DEEP down into a valley, the winds back up the other side, but you can get out in a few places along the way...at the deeper points, it's pretty much subtropical rainforrest, very cool, inspiring.

I guess I should mention that Sydney also has some awesome beaches...and they just keep getting better around the coastal areas, pure clear water at most, they smell great, and yeah...I think our beaches rock.
