Beaconfield mine
I still wanna know where Winnie's tiny house was, or we'll get it again some time in the future & still be just as stumped (pun intended).
Cuppa
It's at the end of Nine Mile Rd which comes out on the Woods Point - Warburton Rd. Known as "the dollhouse" and "the local garage"
Wife & I must have been amongst the few Australians who missed all the coverage. We spent some time in remote jungle parts of Vanuatu whilst it was all happening. Flew back into Oz & had an overnighter in Melbourne before returning home. Sitting in a cafe having brekky in the morning I was reading a newspaper in which there was something about some disaster that had occurred. The article clearly made assumptions about what was common knowledge. I asked someone where Beaconsfield was & they looked at me strangely & asked if I had been on another planet. Comparing our surroundings then to what they had been like a few days previously it did feel like we had indeed been on another planet!

@ Cuppa was the same with me after working out in the Simmo for 6 months straight, got back to Alice
only to find out John Lennon had been murdered 4 mths earlier, We used to stop trucks and Buses [Greyhound]
to swap Yippees and any newspaper we could find. Yippees were cowboy story books paper backs, loved them.
