I think Bob & Vanessa are about halfway between Sydney and Hervey Bay.

Not if is the Hervey Bay I think it is ie somewhere around Maryborough in QLD ! Took us 14 hours to get back from there on the way back from Rockhampton last year (I was in the camper though !)

Yeah Hervey Bay near Marybourgh. Whale watching capital of the world and that's about it really. If you're ever up this way bring a good book.

What part of Hervey Bay Cobber?

I used to have a place on Beelbi Creek, [Toogoom], over near Burrum Heads. A bit of gods own country for mine.

Only came back to the big smoke, [well sort of, Brisbane area], because I was headhunted, & fell for the much bigger money. That all disappeared in living, real estate, & kids education costs, so not much advantage really.

Urangan, down by the Boat Club. The life style suits me down to a tee, after years in London.
