You sister is lucky to live around the Point Lonsdale area, it is really very pretty and peaceful, not sure if it is like that in the summertime though!<br /><br />Just because a ferry is operational doesn't always mean it is profitable, sometimes the operations are subsides by the government, I know it is that way in Canada.<br /><br />Driving into Melbourne today was nothing like the traffic in New York but it was a Saturday today and we only drove as far as the Yarraville area. I guess we will have a better idea when we leave here sometime Monday morning.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-78508913690258597682019-06-22T05:17:24.925-04:002019-06-22T05:17:24.925-04:00You are lucky to have a space to park in Melbourne...You are lucky to have a space to park in Melbourne.

Portarlington is nice too. The ferry has been operational for a while so I guess it is making money, in spite of it not being cheap. The drive is a long distance and at times with terrible traffic congestion especially on the West Gate Bridge, which I think you will use to get to Melbourne. Melbourne traffic can be as bad as New York traffic. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
