That would be right, here I am, 3 weeks away from leaving Melbourne for good and this comes up :-D
I'd be interested in the queen raising course, may still make the effort.
 Thanks for the heads up.

Kennedys Creek, on the western edge of the Otways, probably about half an hour inland from Port Campbell and the 12 apostles if that helps. We've had a small farm out there for a few years and we are heading out full time at the end of this month  :-D

  Good luck with the shift Paul. I guess the silence at Kennedys Creek will be deafening but I would prefer that to the northern burbs of Melbourne.
