Ahhhh Australia!!!
Way back ,when I was 22, I spent 5 months in Australia. Can't help w/ golf since I didn't play any rounds (wasn't a total golf freak at that point in my life). Emil, all I can say is you'll have a wonderful time. Australians are maybe the nicest, most laid back people I've ever met. Awesome food, awesome beer (Victoria Bitter my personal favorite), great weather and beautiful surroundings.
I've got to get back at some point and see the golf courses this time.
