Deb,
Had to look up Mannering Park on Google Maps.
When I grew up on the Lake, I'm pretty sure that point was called Gwandalan!
After leaving W.B. at 18, and working in country NSW, SA & a short stint in Canberra, I spent 35 years in Melbourne raising a family. During that time I revisited the Bay a few times, and promised myself I would NOT retire to the Lake!
Especially to Warners Bay!

It's now just another suburb of Newcastle, not the country village I grew up in.
Rutherglen is
7th Heaven as far as I'm concerned. There's 2000-odd people here (I'm one of the oddest

), and 26 vineyards in the area... I still have about 15 to visit, and we've been here three years!
Still, I hope you enjoy the Lake... horses for courses.
