"MELBOURNE AS YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN IT!"
Melbourne the city of Arts, food and shopping BUT one hour out of the CBD is a whole new world with Philip Island , Mornington peninsula offering a great holiday opportunity for families to honeymooners. Visit the Penguins, eat at the many diverse restaurants, winery and brewery tours for the kids chocolate factory , tree scape zip line, great mazes , kayak, helicopter, take a spin on a go kart when visiting the famous Philip Island circuit. For those of you more adventurous tree zip line test your wits. So much to see and do makes an ideal family holiday and only 3or so hours flight from Auckland.
Looking for something different but don't have to fly half way around the world then this is for you. Contact me as I have hardly scratched the surface.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.7% ... It is complicated
