Having gone through the forums I'm pleasantly suprised that there are more Aussies than I anticipated. Out of curiosity does anyone come from Melbourne (I'm SE suburnbs)?

Hi Sandy

I look upon Mt Dandenong from my place near the Knox Shopping Centre.

Would it be ok to ask which church you go to dave? I know the previous minister of the CoC and the current AG pastor.

I didn't realise that church was in that particular area.

I'm not from Australia.  Is Perth at the end of the world?  It's the nearest city to the antipodal point of my location in Kansas.

It really is a small world! My grandmother's husband used to work for the Korumburra Coucil several years ago. One of my sisters was also born there.

I was born in Wonthaggi, lived for a while in Daylston before my Parents took over a dairy farm in Jumbunna in the mid 70's. I've still got family on my mother's side in Inverloch & Leongattha so I know the area pretty well - worms and all Wink

I've been a city slicker for the last 20 years, currently only a hop, skip & jump from the former Waverley Park (for footy fans) turned housing development in Mulgrave.

And I thought we'd moved on from the earth having ends... :)

It is certainly very isolated.  And we like to think a bit different, but it has been growing quite rapidly for the past decade due to the mining boom (which did slow recently but is still going along nicely  at the moment).

Yep: it's the furtherst down you can go down the rabbit hole.  :-)
According to local legend, Perth is the most geographically isolated city on the planet.

But I did spend a few years in Joplin MO (Ozark Christian College.)
Ran some Vacation Bible Schools in Kansas over the break.

I've been everywhere you mention in S. Gippsland - great region. Also used to rent on Wellington Road, near Waverley Park when it was used for footy. We had parking tickets for the weekend so we could get to where we live!
