Hi Tom. "Boy", you sure get around between Victoria and Queensland, don't you ever go into Sydney?? When I was in Australia from 1950-56 being in the Navy I spent most of my time in Sydney though when I left the aircraft carrier HMAS Sydney I was drafted to a small shore base in Port Adelaide which was the worse draft I ever had in both the Royal and Royal Austrailan navies, it was run by reserve officers who thought they were Admirals I was only there ten months then back to the torpedo school in Sydney {Thank God}

My stepson and his wife were in Aussie for two weeks back in Febuary and really enjoyed themselves in both Melbourne and Sydney.

Weather here starting to warm up beautifull day yesterday even though we had some snow now into spring so things can only get better. Anyway Tom enjoy yourselves and All the Best for now. Best Wishes. Mauri
