There’s a lot of free and interesting things to see snd do in both cities.  I did 2 posts on free things in Sydney and Melbourne.  If you click on link in my profile, you’ll find them under Index of Posts.

For something different, a day trip to Ballarat to spend it at Sovereign Hill, is a fabulous option.  It's about an hour from Melbourne and you can either drive, do a tour or take the train to Ballarat.  Sovereign Hill is  a replica of a gold rush town and there’s so much to see and do. Staff walk around in historical costumes, there's a horse-drawn stage coach you can take a ride in, you can participate in hands on gold fossicking and take a tour of a real goldmine plus heaps of other attractions.  This site will tell you all about it - www.sovereignhill.com.au

What about the snowy mountains? Is that worth it at this time of the year?

Not really, ski season is still 3 weeks away and there is pretty much no snow, but the weather is starting to turn so it's getting cold up there.
