Don't enjoy funerals, so I hope no-one here was involved. Kind regards Dave Milligan

A teenager also died in an off-road mishap on a motorcycle in the bush near Morwell, south-east of Melbourne. Last night a man was killed in a crash at Kilsyth about 9pm. Few details were available.

A 56-year-old Cranbourne man died in a three-car collision on the South Gippsland Highway at Cranbourne just after 1pm. Two other people from the same car — a woman aged 55 and a woman aged 31 — were taken to The Alfred hospital. At 4.40pm, a 70-year-old man died after he was hit by a motorcycle in Nepean Street, Watsonia. The 21-year-old male motorcyclist, also from Watsonia, was taken with multiple injuries to the Austin Hospital in Heidelberg. The off-road death of a 13-year-old boy in Firmin's lane, near Morwell, will not be counted as part of the road toll. The two other motorcycle deaths followed separate crashes on the Mornington Peninsula on Friday night. A 42-year-old Safety Beach man died when his motorcycle and a car collided at the corner of Balnarring and Bittern-Dromana roads, Balnarring, about 5.30pm. And a 24-year-old North Melbourne man died when his motorcycle hit a tree on the corner of Arthurs Seat and Main Creek roads, Red Hill, at 6.10pm. Victoria's road toll is at 308 for the year, three fewer than at the same time last year.
The one near the RSL was run up a concrete wall about 20ft high and into the armco stopping him going into oncoming traffic going by the paint marks from the backon investigation team..
The average person in WA spends an hour on the roads. 70 people a day die in WA, One road death every two days. Something wrong with the maths, we should have at least three a day die on the roads. Or maybe the road is the safest place to be. Theo
In September of every year we get visited by White-tailed black cockatoos, which litter my driveway with thousands of gumnuts, of the 40mm diameter type. They're no fun at all to ride on and it encourages me to clean them up immediately. I can't clean them up whilst the birds are there as it is dangerous to walk out there with gumnuts dropping from 6 metres at a rate of one a second. Theo
