Melbourne Piss-Up - the Derby Day BBQ

They would be in good company and certainly wouldn't go to waste.

Ok
With my compliments

And here's an even better one.

Here's another photo of Eigashima. I'll be staying just around the headland in the centre of the photo. If you look carefully, you can see the Osaka smog in the distance, beyond Awaji Island.

My photo at least made it look a bit romantic ... yours looks like Victor Harbor on a lousy day.

Ah, Newland Head from the Bluff. I used to hang glide along those cliffs in the 70's when I was young and stupid.

I agree that your photo is more romantic but mine more closely represents reality.

A bit of trivia - All those boats in the harbour aren't fishing boats they're boats for harvesting seaweed. Offshore there are tens of square kilometres of racks on which they grow seaweed to make, supposedly, the best nori you can buy.

This is a better one of Victor Harbour.

d'Arenberg, now you're talking. I had a lovely glass of laughing magpie last night.

That can't be me Ian. My hair is grey. Must be Daycat.

I'll pass your compliments on to Chester Osborn Kate. He's almost a neighbour.
Isn't the laughing magpie one of those trendy viognier thingys?

Hey everyone! :)

Would love to do another piss up...has any plan been made yet other than the day? I'm committed, but not committed enough to scroll thru 9 pages...

I have a massive blue tarp to contribute if that would help ...

Hi Alpal ... good to hear from you. The BBQ idea still has legs - but we will make it pedestrian friendly and sort of central. All ideas welcome.

Blue tarp shouldn't be necessary ... Zook has promised to hold his drink this time.
