Cool skidpad experience, how to?

Hi,
I think this is the right place to ask...

I finally managed to convince my wife to take our BA to a skidpad, to learn "how to safely handle the car in the wet conditions" and to have some safe FUN! :

Can you suggest a good skidpad close to the eastern suburbs of Melboune?
(how do I make a booking?)
I'd also appreciate some more info on the whole experience, ie. how much does it cost and do I need a helmet : ?

The biggest and best skidpan is at DECA in Shepparton, it is 4 acres of smooth concrete with sprinklers all over.

Cool thanks

Thanks but I'd need something closer that 230Km form Berwick...

By the way, what is the "ball in the park" cost of such hour of fun?
