Virtual World Tour Day

Hi and Welcome to the Virtual World Tour day.  The Impatient Patient has suggested a day where we all post about where we come from.  I think its a great idea to learn a little more about each other.

 I come from Mornington, which is located on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia.  The whole peninsula has a population of over 147000 people.  We are located at the bottom end of Melbourne which becomes a tourist Mecca at Christmas time to Easter which is Summer time here.  The tourists camp on the beach in caravans and create havoc for the locals as they tend to take over lol.

We have lived here for most of my life but we have just sold and in the next yr or so we are moving to the country.  Mornington is known for its cafe's, wineries, and social events.  At one end of the peninsula called Portsea is well known for the very rich area with houses worth Millions of dollars.  We are beach and country rolled into one.

Ready to go??
