Went for a drive to Phillip Island yesterday, I am trying to educate Billeeeeeee about what a beautiful state Victoria is. So far this trip, we have been to Porepunkah, near Bright, then down via Benalla, past Mansfield, to Yea, across the bridge at Bonnie Doon - WATER!!!!!!! - Yarra Glen (there is now a bypass road at the back of Yarra Glen - terrific, as was often a traffic jam there.
We went to Cape Woolami yesterday, then down to the Nobby's - Seal Rocks, and the beautiful countryside and ocean views, Billeeeeeee put his toe in Bass Strait - bloody cold, hope the ferry doesn't sink when we head to Tassy!!!!!!!
I think he is suitably impressed with this beautiful state.

Dougwe - a white elephant???????? is that metaphorical or real? Must say some of the huge houses on the island look a lot like "white elephants"!!

Hi Robert (Bob)?? I am Jules47 on the site - just noted you are heading to Mornington - are you staying there long? In a caravan park? We are in Frankston - not far away - until 1st November (taking the ferry to Tassy) - could have a meet up, maybe? We are from Brisbane as well - north -
