Yes to Australia but NO to NSW or Lara's pm on Kangaroo Island I'm really going to give ye's all a wide berth for now - the ol' lungs don't like me coughing after laughing too much. I needed that though! And here I thought I was going to palm it off from somewhere in the UK after Lara's #179. It looks more English with that kind of weather rolling in.

I suspect I may be wrong as a whole 90 mile stretch would be fairly hard to define exactly "where"

But: Is it 90 Mile Beach - "From the shallow inlets near Port Albert to the wide open lakes of Lakes Entrance lies the Ninety Mile Beach, a 90-mile long stretch of pristine golden sand that separates the Gippsland Lakes from Bass Strait."

No to Geelong, Melbourne, Cape Bridgewater or 90 mile Beach. Trust me it's find-able! But then I know what I'm looking for and a whole 90 mile stretch is a little too long for my liking!

Actually they do have names P'ter - East Beach (on the river side of Port Fairy) and Pea Soup Beach (on the western side of Port Fairy). This is Pea Soup - so called because of the mists that roll in, they're real pea-soupers - trust me I grew up here and you can't even see 2 feet in front of you on this particular beach when the mists roll in! I'll take it as solved anyway as you gave the town as to where the picture lies!

NEXT!

Actually Ginnystar, Anneli and Hans are still on the list as being before both of us. Cheryl gave me the go ahead as Anneli is busy and Hans must still be on holidays. It is best to PM Cheryl before jumping the gun and putting the next one up! Unless you've already done so and got the go ahead. Don't know so merely asking. Thanks.
