I need to know how many of us are from Victoria...
If you are, raise your hand and be counted.
Apart from me...don't let me be the only one :(
If you don't live in Victoria...then piss off back to your state and stop lerking... :nahnah

I am in the ACT but originally from Victoria. There are a couple of others that I know of, but they can confess themselves!

Is anyone else going to admit to that?? :nahnah :wink1

Hi Marcus,
I'm a former NSW resident now in Victoria for over a decade and although I don't call myself a Victorian (in public) I will on this thread so you won't be alone. :hatwave
-
I've been to Victoria :grin
-
I've been to Victoria twice, and I don't think much of the condition of the roads there.
To clarify, the road systems are fantasic. West Gate bridge, the tunnel to get to Ferntree Gully, awesome.
The huge potholes in the freeway near Riddles Creek and elsewhere, disappointing.
I didn't even mind the toll roads, as travelling was fast and easy.
Long live the West.

Daughter & family at Burnside Heights. Good friends here, there, & eveywhere! :grin
Left Melbourne for Brisbane when I was 28 years old. Then became a Banana bender for 40 years, before becoming a Tassie devil!!
Cheers to all Victorians!! :hatwave

You gotta stop riding like a nanna, mate. :grin
-
I know Biggles, I know . . I guess when I stop riding like a Nanna I'll increase my tyre life from around 8,000ks to 20,000 ks . . I guess that's the secret . . I may even speed up to 80 kph . .

West Aussie by birth, Kalgoorlie. But now live in Victoria and liking it. The roads are poor due to ground movement, the high clay soils really move alot and this in turn causes the many dips humps and bumps in the roads. In fact it kills my back. I have 8 damaged disks between the vertibrae in my back and those dips & humps can really hurt. I hate the roads for that reason.
-
Add 1 more who lives in Victoria (actually Warragul). I thought that there were originally quite a few of us.
Cheers Rex (aussiexs)

I was born in Victoria, spent my early life on a dairy farm (18 years in the same place, same parents even!) until I moved to Canberra for university and work in 1977. All my family is still down in Victoria. I go there a lot, just got back from there.
If you want to see where I lived the first part of my life look up Carpendeit in google maps, and of courses we lived at the end of Nagles Road.
