I got as close to skiing as I will get until I fly back to NY today. Perth has a small amusement park called "Adventure World". Amongst the rides, they have a chair lift to bring you from the bottom of the park to the top where the water slides start. It's really slow, but I had to ride just to stir some memories of winter and snow. It just doesn't feel like Christmas down here.
Adventure World I'm sure is fun for kids- I was there for the corporate kids' christmas party. Over 1,000 employees plus their families invaded the park after regular closing hours. It was quite an event. The park does not have huge rides, but good fun was had anyway. The "power surge" and "rampage" are like no other ride I've seen and you are thrown against the safety bar hard enough and often enough to make you wonder if their safety inspections are up to snuff.
I would not recommend the park for anyone that's looking for thrill rides. If you want to take the kids and get wet on a hot day, the water slides looked good and there was a bungee jumping tower right next door.
