Alan was a gentleman.

I'll miss him.

Bugger!

 

Ahh; gotcha. I didn't notice the capital W and assumed the Brisbane
water-police were investigating!

Which confused the hell out of me in WA learning the song "Moreton
Bay".

Apparently there's a "Brisbane Grove" down near Goulburn too.

 

I still reckon Victoria takes the cake for having TWO Rutherglens!

Dammit; I just can't think of the name but there's a town near Tarago (NSW)
and another near Maitland with the same names.
Aarrrgh....

 

Where's the other one?

It's at Ruthe.... WAIT A MINUTE!!!

 

You have to have visited more than two wineries before you can see it;
it doesn't work on ng

 

I'd like to see evidence of that. I only know of one.

Not only that, we have three (count 'em) Happy Valleys. (one a locality
near Dargo, one near Myrtleford and one on the Murray between Echuca and
Swan Hill.
I think they survive as localities because just about no one lives in
any of them, so the addresses don't cause confusion.

The Seth Ostrayans have two major cities called Kingston. How did they
manage that?

(Is this a good time to talk about the twin towns of Colignan and Nangiloc?)

 

MAYFIELD!!

....west of Timboon. And the other one's up north near the NSW border...

(What's with "Brisbane Water police are investigating the crash and are
asking anyone with information about it to contact them...". Is there a
Sydney Brisbane as well as the Melbourne one?)

Brisbane Waters police are the mob that "look after" the Old Road, from
Mooney Mooney towards Gosford.

Given the nature of the road there probably weren't too many witnesses
out walking their dogs.

You're kidding me, aren't you?

That would be the Warrnambool Rutherglen then? I realise the Herald Sun
is an authoritative source, but there isn't a Rutherglen on the GOR
anywhere. Google Maps concurs.

 

I checked the Postcode book as well, and there was only one
Rutherglen.... <shrug>.

Not vouching for the veracity of the Herald-Sun - the two Rutherglens
just seemed quite notable on the occasion I was playing with the map.
Maybe it's a typo, who knows? I sort of noted it and filed it in my
head (I sometimes store odd bits of info). Damn. Now I feel compelled
to check further.

I used to be similarly confused by the suburb of Whitford in Perth. Whitford
Road leads you to Whitford City Shopping Centre, and people always referred
to 'going to Whitford', but there is no postcode for Whitford because it
doesn't exist, the shopping centre is in Hillarys.

Alan's funeral service is Friday, at 12.00.

I will be going, by car. Leaving Beecroft at 10.00.

If anyone wants a lift there and back, feel free to e-mail me.
