Maybe we're just so spoilt with "home" that nowhere else looks as exciting to visit... Or it could be because we're so far from anywhere, that we just stay home out of sheer laziness (or miserliness).

So what's the story mate. Is that a sub base? Nice long causeway going out there. Is it accessible 24 hrs? I went onto the Otway quite a few times when I was a kid and my brother worked at Cockatoo Isl for 15 years.

Sorta, its the home port for the Collins class. It's like Garden Isl over there in Sydney where they have various vessels ported.
Yeh, the causeways a blast, 300km/h with nothing but ocean beside ya.
Those damn seaguls hurt though !

Yep, another one

Maybe, just maybe, we could have a VTR conferance. We could all meet somewhere so called exotic. No, not Lands End. Used to go to Cornwall for me hols as a tacca.
We, being fewer of us, could go over to the UK. I still have relo's there who'd put us up if these other stormers couldnt handle a few Aussie compatriots

Good idea, but Im not going to dismantle my bike just to get it in the boat.
Am looking at alternatives. Standby for results, might be easier than we think.
