Good afternoon Paul,

 HG> I've wondered where Phillip Island is, and searched for it on my World
 HG> Atlas, without getting anywhere.

PQ> It's the other end of the known universe for me.  I sometimes try to

PQ> religous thing.

I thought this part of the world, would be the other end for you, as we
consider everything down under, to be the other end of the world, though
not the universe.

PQ> There's a bloke I know in Brisbane (former sysop) who rides down
PQ> every year on his magnificent BMW cycle, fitted with CB radio, a
PQ> stereo system, GPS, and heated seat.  That is being super keen.  :)

That's a known formula here too, with the exception of CB being replaced
with amateur radio transceiver. CB is nonexistent here, only used by
fishermen nowadays. It's not outlawed here, but not a hobby anymore.

I thought that an air condotioned seat, would be proper in your climate.
The heated seat would be useful here, were it not for all motorbikes
being garaged over the winter.

The reason is that all vehicles on the roads are required to use either
studded, or at least mud/snow tires, during the winter months.

Have a good evening,

Holger
