Well, your post has my husband reeling off place names -- Tabletop Mountain, Gary's Junction, and others. I do wish I could go see it all.
I felt more at home in Melbourne than I have ever felt anywhere. In fact, I'm a notoriously picky eater. It's hard for me to eat in restaurants, or anyone's house, because I'm too picky. (Yes, I've been told that's part of my eating disorder. Not a part I feel any need to work on, though.) Melbourne was a dream, because everything I ate was wonderful. My ex was amazed -- "wow! We can even take you to fast food places here!" The air felt wonderful on my skin -- although the flies were pretty amazing. And the public art downtown was fabulous.
The house where my husband grew up was for sale recently, and he showed me pictures of it online. I'd like to go there, too. And he has most of his parents' things in storage over there, which I've always wanted to have shipped over to us. Store them here, probably, but at least he'd have access to them.
By the way, do you have recipes for risoles or scones? Pikelets? He keeps saying he wants them, but we haven't been able to find acceptable recipes. Can you maybe help?
If we do visit, I'd love to meet you, too.
