..Didnt you post somewheres that you headed out to 'timber towns west of the Dandenongs'? I'm still trying to work out where you mean. As far as I knew, all our timber towns are in the east of the state, eg Sth East Gippsland way. Isnt the Mallee all wheat and stuff? In fact, isnt this a piccy of a wheat silo? Or is it a timber silo? ...I just ask because because Americans worry about educating Osama about South Africans, and we should help them.... 21 June 2011 20:38
I did! I mean to say yes, I said east :D. drove from gippsland coast to northern subs of melb via noojee and such. was sleeting and there were trees across road, but it was bloody gorjus! I verily wanted to stop in at your place for a warming cup of earl grey and a game of scrabble, but we were too far north, and had to reach melb (and dinner with chums in coburg) at a partikla time.
and yes, that's a silo in the mallee, en route to mildura. saltbush country - chock full of not much, sheep, and slow-talkin' folks.
upshot is that we traversed the lovely vicky from east to west, with a dabble around the innards and a spot of big smoke to top it off. huzzah!
