Can’t let that one pass, Jontee.  I feel compelled to defend the honour of my childhood and teenage stomping ground!

I haven’t been to Merimbula and its been decades since going to Lakes Entrance.  But other than a nice beach they just don’t compare to the Mordi beach precinct at that time. 

My memories:

  • A real Carnival; a mini Luna Park sans the Big Dipper  The ‘Dodgems’ were the best rides!!  Always did love driving cars fast! 
  • The Shingdig dance on Sunday nights.  Johhny Farhnam and the Strings Unlimited performed there occasionally.
  • Fishing off the Mordi pier if one was so inclined.
  • Parents buying fresh fish fresh from the sea from Mrs Pompeii’s gate at the Mordi Bridge; it was an illicit business I believe.
  • Just about the best and cleanest stretch of beach on Port Phillip Bay being north of the Mordi Creek.
  • Trapezing up the Mordi creek to pick blackberries and catch tadpoles.

All in all the beach precinct was an idyllic place to spend one’s childhood and teenage years.  And in latter years a refuge in times of trouble,

For a moment there I thought, [insert plummy voice] 'And now we return to normal service...'

But, Luci, thanks for pressing steadily ahead down the Lane.

    Change of subject, hope nobody minds.

    I wiki’d the young Afghani bowler Noor Ahmad and I’m wondering what his mum would think of how she’s listed in his bio…

    She has been bestowed a high honor these days in Afghanistan; there's no number after her 'name'.

    Gee your family were doing well in the 70s with a trip to Hawaii.

    I thought Lakes Entrance was pretty Cosmopolitan back then and as far as we ever ventured barring our all out campervan holiday in Merrimbula. 

    No better time than '74' LD.

    One Aussie dollar was buying 1.48 USDs!

    Unfortunatley it has spiralled into insignificance ever since being floated with one very short lived exception in 2010.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
