No response yet Dave.so I'll send you contact details later and ask you to try as the 15 hour time difference makes it difficult for me.
Ron and his wife who live in Frankston (South-East of the city of Melbourne) treated us to a wonderful tour of the Mornington Peninsula.They collected us from our Southbank hotel and then down to Hastings for lunch at the highly recommended Pelican Pantry.We drove past a reservoir where Ron had expected to find some 'roos in the wild but when we only found a pair of emus he had a girl in his office contact the.Moonlit Sanctuary in Peacedale who were for some reason not open to the public at that moment.Strings were pulled and the four of us had a special tour. Afterwards we got to see the church at Langwarren.built with money left in his 1960 will by my favourite author the UK born Nevil Shute
(We had arrived in Melbourne after attending a week long gathering oF NS fans from the UK USA Australia and Holland in Alice Springs the subject of arguably the very best novel ever written Nevil's A Town Like Alice
