    Indeed it is rather chilly here at the moment! What srt of things are you looking for? If you're into Pride and Prejudice we curently have a giant Mr Darcy emerging from the water in the docklands!

    There's currently free fireworks at the Docklands on Friday nights too.

    I like taking visitors to ACMI, even the free Screen Scenes exhibition is amazing and will take at least an hour, maybe more - good for cruddy weather. They currently also have a Dreamworks exhibition going.

    Ahhhh no :(
    I don't want it to be cold!

    I'm heading up this Saturday
    I read about the fire works on Friday and wish I was there then

    I'll look up the ACMI thing :)

    Also, is the zoo any good?

    Me and my partner are coming down there for the first time and just want fun things to do really

    There's a group called Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, if you search for it, there's a bunch of us in there! Just start a thread :)
