Oh the excitement.

On setious note this week am in Elmore...staying in Bendigo. Drive back late arvo was through a lot of smoke.

I spent two years between the ages of 2 and 4 at Elmore where the family had a textile farm so it's the place of my earliest memories. The bridge over the railway station and picnics by the river.

How does it look these days?

You are both wrong. BBO was spit roasting one of the lads yesterday and things got out of control. In his drunken Shiraz stupor he forgot to slaughter the poor beast before shoving the rotisserie up its clacker and throwing it on the roaring fire. Of course, the beast panicked and ran off into the local forest with its coat ablaze. The rest, as they say, is history.

Could happen to anyone really.

Dry, lifeless,flat and uninspiring WJ.

I was there on a field day trip recently.

The river is quite pretty, as is the pub.

I used to go through Elmore quite a lot (on the way to see family in Deniliquin). I remember it as the place where the road from Heathcote bends around a bit to join the road between Bendigo and Echuca. I happened to drive through there the day before Black Saturday, but I haven't been up that way much since then.

So you were the fire bug!

Probably not nearly as busy as you remember The Campaspe is still nice

Very disappointed the hotel was staying at had no banana in the fruit salad for brekkie. I voiced my disapproval.

Damn, my cover is blown. Please keep it to yourself :-)

Only time I have ever heard "Elmore" and "busy' referred to together :-) It is a nice spot, though.

Fruit salad without bananas is just sliced apple and a few mates ...

No bridge at the station but a miniature railway nearby

As past resident of Coffs Harbour let me put it on record that this threads support of the banana industry is laudable. However what is in a fruit salad that has no banana? Surely it should be called a Shepparton Surprise!

I'm guessing you made a small typo, so let me say on behalf of posters in this thread that we are honoured to have the past President of Coffs Harbour in our midst. Welcome Your Excellency! I guess that makes you Top Banana.

That would, of course, be a banana republic ... :-)

Before I moved to Coffs Harbour a friend told me about a very attractive young lady working at a real estate office near where he worked. I rang her, said I was from Melbourne and asked the price for a kg of bananas. I rang once a week for about five weeks asking what the current price was per kg and how quickly were bananas selling each week. She humored me and the calls became longer and we started to discuss other things but never about myself or my intention to move to Coffs. When I finally moved to Coffs Harbour I walked in to the real estate office and she was more beautiful than I could believe, I asked her about bananas and she cracked up, we went out for dinner .......... The second chapter is available on request. Pay Pal accepted.

As for my presidency that is another story.

The next thing you will be saying is the MFC will win the flag next year.

Come to think of it that has a lot better chance.

I handle complaints on the 29th Feb every year except when I take a break for the Olympics.
