A short trip to see/stay with my family. A few days each in Melbourne, Adelaide & Alice Springs. Cant wait.

Have an awesome trip! Haven't been to the others but Melbourne is gorgeous.

yeah, when its not raining! From what ive seen, it appears to have quite a few veggie places..so im looking forward to some nice food. I used to go to melbourne on holidays when i was a youngster, and i grew up in Adelaide. But never been to the centre of australia. Now that will be interesting!

you should check my old post in this forum for veg restauarant advice in melb

and you have to check out at vegetarian orgasm at least in fitzroy just off brunwick street

cool, thanks for the tip. I remember those old posts, and definately will print out the details.

Are you serious? Too anti-US? Sheesh...

"I don't know, I'm thinking Canada looks good too.... but Switzerland is still my first choice! LOL (You can take dogs to restaurants, that sold me...)"


hey Im with you. I have spent many months at a time in ch ( switzerland) and i just love it. I love the attitude of the ppl there, and also the push for free range animals and organic food there. I also loved that on the trams the doggies were there too and u pay a half price ticket for them hehehe so cute. They were in restaurants, shops, at the airport heheh my kind of place. sorry bit passionate ill stop now heheh..

Wow, that was an old post of mine you dragged up! LOL But if I get to go to Switzerland at least now I know who to bug for hints. ;)

So . . .. .nice weather were having . . . .

...but Melbourne is gorgeous.
I fully agree!!! :)

Weather you say?

41 degrees tomorrow :cry:

I *HATE* summer in QLD.

Oh well.

BTW: My bf and I splurged on valentines day and went to Squirrels in newmarket - completely vegan menu! An actual *choice* of dishes I could eat at a restaurant besides salad. Woohoo! So yummy. I had cajun tofu and he had the indian dish. We also got the breads and dips and soup and everything was delicious. Reasonably expensive, no air conditioning and the staff seemed harassed and not very with it (we went late so there was not too many others still eating) but the meal was spectacular. We will definately be going back. We also made friends with a lovely couple at the table next to ours and had a wonderful night.

I just got this http://magshop.com.au/Product.asp?ProductID=1795

It looks PHAT AS!!
And it's massive!!
Annnnd was only $20NZ!
AWESOME!

Herbivore - she's so brave!!! Good on her.

DK - lemme know if it was worth it - it's $34.95 Aus

It's definately worth it!
It even has a fair amount of Vegan Recipes too!

It should be cheaper than that though..
Since the NZ dollar is lower then the Australian one anyway!

You're right, it should be cheaper than that. We're being ripped off! :furious:

Hey everyone,
How are you all? I'm back with a vengence and after being gone for like 4mths I missed this site.

Hi Euphoria!

I missed you!

Welcome back!

Ahhhh thanks guys I missed u too TAG.
So how is everyone in their part of Aus? I've recently discovered the best soy milk in the whole world and that's coming from someone who doesn't like soy milk so that's saying a lot. And have you guys tasted the So Good ice cream? It's sooo good :)

Yeah So Good is good! But Fruccio is way better!!

I miss Shewolf :cry:

I saw this site in a Girlfriend magazine today at school, yep I do alot of work.. haha!

Looks pretty interesting!

I heard from her last week. She sent sonogrames of the baby. You could see its little face very clearly. She is very well, but hatching this baby and a PHD and keeping up with her students has her swamped. She is soooo happy, so that is all that matters.

As Long as she is happy, I'm Glad :)

Nice to hear of her, thanks Life :)

I went to the shops yesterday and WOOHOO! Australia finally has soy icecream paddle pops! Fruccio put out an 8-pack box of vanilla.

Mmmm.... can't wait till they bring them out in chocolate!
