April is autumn, around 16-20 degrees in the day, and below 15 degs at night. The weather is very unpredictable, so be prepared.
Must see: Great ocean road, Philip island, Queen Victoria market, Crown casino, Chinatown..

Oh I stay near glen waverly, it's close to my uni. Probably autumn clothes.. you can try Chadstone shopping centre too, it's close to your friend's place.. There's also a Direct Factory Outlet at Cheltenham, about 20 mins drive from glen, and a whole stretch of factory outlets in the city.Originally posted by charmmm:m going to stay at my friend's place at glen waverly..

then Chadstone is probably not a good idea.. the city has lots of little shops in the alleys that offer cheaper clothes, and the factory outlets (take tram 86 from Bourke Street towards the Parliament house's direction)..Originally posted by charmmm:by the way where else is good to shop.. dun wan those high end type.. prefer stylish &mid price range. style like top shop this kind.. or flea market kind.. dun wan those fake branded..

glen waverly itself also has a shopping mall, and the food there is very nice too. If you are into Italian, try La Pochetta. There's also a Malaysian restaurant called The Grand Tofu, and Bob's Kitchen serve really nice dumplings. -

Not to mention the Crumpler shop there that have the equipment to sew on the design u want on your own crumpler bags.
U can try Hawthorn Street, they have a Crumpler factory store there. -
Hmm ..La Pochetta alright only. I think i prefer Sophia's, its along FernTreeGully Highway or Freeway.Originally posted by ^spidee^:monash uni.. no problem! glen waverly itself also has a shopping mall, and the food there is very nice too.

If your staying within Glen Waverly Town,u can try going to the back of Village Cinema and try out Rocky's Roast Duck, that was my supper venue during my studies there.*sigh* miss those days -
There isn't much along Mornington Peninsula except the beaches, but its towards autumn and i don't think the weather will be suitable to hit the beaches, not to mention the huge amts of needles left by drug addicts along the whole Port Phillip Bay.Originally posted by charmmm:icic. thanks! by the way the morning peninsula anything nice there? and also the puffing billy
You might want to drive down to Sorrento and view the waves and thats the southern or northern ( can't recall sorry) point of Port Phillip Bay -
oh yes, I heard of sophia's but haven't been there yet!Originally posted by one-niner:Hmm ..La Pochetta alright only. I think i prefer Sophia's, its along FernTreeGully Highway or Freeway.
