Great tips! I was reminiscing about our first meet! I'm glad your girls enjoyed Luna Park. Mark & I walked through one day, but didn't ride anything :)

Blue skies, golden beaches, book shops and a veggie restaurant? Sounds like heaven Doug!! A lovely read to brighten up a dreary grey damp morning in the UK! Maria :))

Great page! At a St Kilda cafe a lady at the next table was a model or singer or SOMETHING going over some pictures & how they would be used on a cover of SOMETHING??? Haha, I didn"t eaves drop well enough to get all the facts straight ; )
