Australia huh? Well they have their fair share of troubles there too. I just saw on the news that many have died in wildfires and one of my best friends is in Melbourne, pregnant in 112 degree weather.

I know the winter stinks (I live in a New England state as well) but it will be spring soon and then.... summer, my favorite season! The light box that was mentioned earlier, truly does work... Another friend suffers from seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and swears by his! There are also dawn simulators that I have heard work incredibly well. If you can exercise it will help your mood as well. I lived in Oklahoma once and thought I had died and been sent to Hell... (I literally cried everyday for months)... I know it's not the same as being stuck inside with cabin fever, but... I started to work out (because I was bored, lonely and miserable) and I really did start to feel better. As I don't know you, I would say to check with your doctor before starting any workout program, but if you are physically healthy enough it does work. It releases endorphins just like chocolate or sex!!
