Lovely building. More recent photo, not the mighty CB.

As a side note, always found it interesting that Honda did a range of CBs from 125cc (even lower?) up to 1300? Be like a 1L commodore vs a 5 litre one. In name only.

Yes.  A well preserved and / or restored example of an 1880's house.  This one is in regional Victoria within 200km of Melbourne.  Not long before this pic was taken it changed hands for a very high six figure sum.  A property search tells me it changed hands in 2001 for $65,000.  If it was in Melbourne, I think it would have fetched at least $3M in 2017/18.

Here's some more pics:





When it was on the market, I thought it would be a good buy, six bedrooms and three bath rooms, but no garage or carport.  I should've made further enquiries.

I don't remember a 1L Commodore.  The smallest I remember was a 4 cylinder 1900cc Starfire Four.  We had a station wagon version on the work fleet, a VH series from memory, must've been around 1980.   I booked it for a country trip, Melbourne to Orbost for a coupla days. 

The guys at the office who thought they knew more .about cars than me said not to take it, it was a shyte heap with no power and I would regret my vehicle choice for this quick trip.

Took the car home on the evening before the trip, engine revved (sort of) freely, up and down the five speed gear box, Mmmmm ...... this goes okay.  A few stop start meetings at towns along the South Gippsland Highway through the morning, after lunch I headed from Yarram to Sale into a roaring north wind.  The Commodore wouldn't hold 5th gear without loosing speed, 4th gear was hold speed but it was flat out at 130km/h.

I never booked the 4 cylinder Commodore again.

Well plenty of room for garage etc in the house.

I know there was never a 1litre commodore, point being how there can be such a divergence in style & capacity, yet still given same name.

A bit like the best selling car in the world. 

This was for many years the Model T Ford, which from my perspective, ie. they all looked the same, was probably easy to accept.  Someone more knowledgeable (read older) will correct me, aye Bill?

Same for the VW Beetle.

But now (and I just checked) it's the Toyota Corolla with 1.02 million sold.  I don't find this credible as, IMHO, the only similarities between a 1967 model and a 2019 model is Corolla.

They even pre-dated me by a couple of years.  But I recall when I was knee-high having a hand in helping my father work on our Willys Whippet out in Cracow.  He'd been working on the engine and as the key offsider I was entrusted with holding tools.  In my enthusiasm for the role I poked the tine of a file through the radiator.  I don't recall the details of my employment after that...

Back on topic .....


How about this?




This is in regional Victoria within 200km of Melbourne. 


Within the blue shaded area:



The mansion (in this case a Manor) has the name of a town approximately 150km on the other side of Melbourne.

Which other side of Melbourne?

Nope.

The Bxxxxxxx Manor is in a town approx. 100km from Melbourne.   Bxxxxxxx is a town approx. 150km, in an almost opposite direction.

Beaufort Manor is in Yea, Yea is approx. 100km north east of Melbourne, Beaufort is approx. 150km west of Melbourne.

Got it.  I think you are correct.
