Calling @Jaded No More    A few above, mentioning you without the required deference - I think some retribution is justified.

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.

That word connected in even the slightest way to BBO  is very scary so I would advise my friend  WCW to stay well away!!

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.

I had no idea Mrs Old was also a Demons supporter before you met her. 

Impeccable taste OD.
