    Looks like I'll end up in Hobart in early May for a few days.

    Is there any badminton around there that I can drop in??

    How cold is the weather? Any ice/sleet/snow etc?:eek:

    I plan to stay around 10 minutes walk from Victoria dock.

    Any recommendations on cheap accomodation?

    G'day Cheung,

    Let me find out for you - I'll see if anyone knows. Else you can try finding more from badminton australia and I am sure they will be able to help you out.

    www.badmintonvic.com.au

    So will Cheung come to Victoria also and show us how to play a real game of badminton? ;)

    Ayl,
    you have a good sense of humour giving me the website for the State of Victoria ;)
    Hobart is in Tasmania!!
    eh,eh, maybe Hobart is in Melbourne for some people.:D

    If I come to Melbourne, I''ll bring some racquets for a comparison. I think Quantas are giving a bit of a discount, so might have to direct flight to Syd/Melb as a transit point. Depends how schedules work out.

    Melbourne is one of the nicer cities I've visited:)

    Thanks for the information.

    Unfortunately, due to SARS, the trip got cancelled. I'll try Perth next year;)
