Yes,enjoy, I’ll look forward to visiting!

What an amazing place to retire to xx


Meanwhile, after a big day clearing rubbish near the creek, burning as per the burn permit, cutting grass, lots of grass, I was rewarded with a flock of yellow tailed black cockatoos in my walnut tree! Simply amazing!

Golf has been a slow progression, but today was excellent. Hit 46 off the stick [9 holes]. Third week in a row of improvement. Having hit around 60 in a couple of my early rounds a couple of months ago.

Highlight today was hitting the flagstick on the first hole, par 3, landing 10 inches from hole. Missed downhill putt but got my par. Bogied next hole but birdied the third!! Score blew out on last 3 holes, so anything is possible.

Fricken love golf. Hoping to break 40 soonish. Note, we play by the rules.


Breaking news......... blocked septic tank tonight, easily cleared with the large plunger. Whilst heading down the side of house, 5 roos munching on some grass. Fricken love this place.

Ocean has been as flat as a tack last two days, no sound of surf pounding, just the occasional sound of the roulettes dogfighting in the distance. I may have a fish tomorrow.

^^ I think it's why it was named Paradise Beach!!

We fell in love with the area only around 4 years ago, very similar to Phillip Island of 40-50 years ago. Roos relaxing in yards, the odd koala and heaps of birdlife. Different weather pattern to Melbourne and deserted beaches.

3 hours from Melbourne is a bit far for day trippers so it should remain relatively quiet.

It’s a beautiful place

Well Jess (youngest daughter) & Darcy are into their second month of their 18-24 month trip around Oz.
Looking at some of the pics she's sharing and seeing how much of a great time they're having is fantastic. Lucky kids, what an adventure at 23!

I didn't know how she'd go living in a van for that length of time, but she is loving it so far.

Their plan is to get to Darwin (they're still in WA), head down the middle to SA and be over in Melbourne for Xmas. Darcy's grandparents are in Vic and he wants to spend some time with them, having not seen them for years due to the covid shamozzle. From there they plan to head up the East coast and come back across the top. Me & Kel are looking at catching up with them at some stage when they're in Queensland early next year.

Didn't think I'd miss having her around the house as much as I do

I still love where we have moved to. Last night whilst checking some veg seedlings under torch light, I spotted a spider which looked vaguely familiar. Anyhow after it threatened me, I squished it. I identified it afterwards as a Victorian Funnel Web Spider. In 2 minds now whether I should of squished it.

Nah, squish it every day. Glad you're enjoying it, I googled Paradise Beach, F me you're out of the way.

For me, the meth Lab ehh I mean Shed is up at Toc and looks schmick, got council approval for the plumbing after the fact so I can buy the fittings when I have time and cash and get them in, hot and cold water and sewage are ready to go, sparky hasn't been around yet to wire it up, may have to give him a prod. Set the hoses last week as we're in for a hot spring and summer. Broadbeans are doing really well, as is the silverbeet and Blueberry bush, put a tomato plant in last week as week. Anybody want some lemons?
