Milwaukee is the largest city in the US state of Wisconsin and is a stop on the travel day between Chicago and Madison on Grand Northern Tours of the US.
Milwaukee is still known as the brewing capital of the United States. Check out the free, guided tour of the Miller Brewery which includes a look into the modern machinery that makes mass distribution beer possible as well as a glimpse of brewings storied past in Milwaukee. Also, don’t forget to sample the finished product at the Miller Brew Hall. It’s free! Also, Milwaukee is the world headquarters for Harley Davidson motorcycles.

I have lived in Milwaukee for the past few years while attending college. I love it because it still has a city feel but isn’t as big and confusing as, say, Chicago or New York. Summer is the best time to visit, winter gets a little long. Summerfest is a definite must if visiting around the end of June. There are also many other brewery tours besides Miller. My favorite is the Lakefront Brewery Tour. It’s a little brewery located on the Milwaukee River. Only $6 for 4 cups of beer and a souvenir glass! Milwaukee Art Museum is stunning. Make sure you go on a nice day so the wings are up (Calatrava designed is to look like a bird complete with wings)!

I've found from experience the best and most reliable brand of adaptors for Australian travellers is Korjo. Check out www.korjo.com
The Tirol is one of the most beautiful parts of the world. If you visit Hopfgarten, visit the trout farm - you can catch a fish, then have it for lunch!
German beer is all organic so you cant get hang overs - I dare you to test it! ;D FYI - make sure you have cash ahead of time because they don't take plastic and there isn't an ATM in sight!
