cooper,
Give me a call if you ever plan to visit Melbourne, you will be made welcome. On an aside, I befriended a charming couple from Lodi CA when I was on the 2009 Corvette Caravan and they visited Oz in March. I picked them up at Brisbane Airport and we spent a few weeks cruising down the eastern coast from Caloundra via Coffs Harbour, Sydney, Eden and finally Melbourne. We even got to go on a dinner cruise with my local Corvette Club two days before they flew home.
Fun times!
Regards from Down Under.
