South side and the beaches wonderful, (does the photo sum up Melbourne?) parks and green spaces everywhere, no historical city centre that we could discover although some nice mixture of old and new architecture, city seriously spreading out – hardly any spacing between different towns in the surrounding spread out suburbs, they all seem to be one continuous “strip mall” – traffic probably the worst we have seen in Australia.
It was wonderful to see and spend an evening with Guy and Lisa – emigrants to OZ from the UK, and John and Liz Sanderson’s elder daughter and her husband. They live in Mt Evelyn which as its name betrays is in a mountainous (and wine growing) area a bit more than one hour from down town Melbourne.
