ive been to brisvegas. its not THAT great, but it is awesome.
but if you do go to b'vegas, you can always go down to byron.
or if you go to byron, you can go up to b'vegas.

id say byron though, its more layedback. fucking awesome pub.
and ask sped_kid for advice, she lives in Byron, so she knows all the places and where the cheap drinks are.
or check out my Byron Bay thread.

and i cant give you advice on budgeting, im not that great with money.

Go to Melbourne! Solely cause I'm not going anymore :(

And you can go to Albert Park and stand on the grid and run around the track, pretend your being Kimi or Zsolt :p

And you can go shopping, and you can take me as well! :)

the main cost will always be accomodation... flights will be cheap, entertainment can get costly depending on what you do...
