No offence taken Ray, you really caught me way off guard, that's all. It seems to me nobody knows where we are and along you come with all the gen!
Now Warners Bay, has a couple of great pubs and some really good pub lunches have been enjoyed there too! Not a bad place for your formative years, but now it is a little bit too "up market" for me. Real estate there has lots of zeros on the pricetags! I really think you lived there when it was a country sort of rural town and its lost some of that lovely feeling, if you know what I mean?

I am still exhausted from unpacking the van, so off to bed for me. Night night everyone. xxx

Nice place to come home to when we have been away.

Spot on Shirley. Lake Mac is a really lovely place to call home. I need to have a home to go home to after a long trip, and this is a really good place to live.
Peter H, you go to a good pub there mate! Great lunch specials midweek too.

Bed is calling, night all. xxx

That's one of the reasons we've moved to Rutherglen...

A lot like WB was when I was growing up. Although it does have more shops. Supermarkets hadn't been invented then - well, if they had, WB was too small for one. We still asked the grocer behind the counter for the washing powder, apples, and whatever.
And at about 6 or 7, it was quite safe for Mum to give me some small change and send me (on foot!) half-a-mile down to the shops for some milk & bread.
And when my grandmother died I was about 17. She left me some money, which my father advised I should use to buy a block of land on the hill: $6500! I bought a car instead.
Ah, memories!
Population in Rutherglen is about 2500, about double WB's when we moved there. And with the exception of three buildings, the entire main street is original gold-rush construction - 1860~65. Very pretty. Even some original 1905 signs preserved on weatherboard awnings. The IGA supermarket has a facade built in the 1860s style to blend in: small windows, recessed (blocked) doorway half-way along to retain scale, etc.
Hey, if someone is looking for a business opportunity, one of the three (count 'em, 1,2,3!) pubs in town is for sale...
People here still say 'hello' to passing strangers in the street!
And I'm already on first-name basis with the owner of the local Mitre 10 store. I reckon in a few weeks, I'll have spent enough there to qualify as a majority shareholder! (Refer to my thread "Girt's New Home Takes Shape")

That was nice Ray but you forgot to say goodnight engrossed in the "when I was a lad" times.. So why don't you buy a pub? with this lot on here you would make a good living out of it esp with Lesley, Terry, and Margaret to name but a few in the Duriff zone.... So with that I shall say goodnight everyone x
