Crocodile Creek



Seeing as we've got some catching up to do... will try and keep things to the point:

In Sep 07 we moved to Mount Eliza, which is situated 50km south of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula, on Crocodile Creek... according to Anna. It's a charming (or so we think) little weatherboard house that needs plenty of work & a fair amount of expansion as it's pretty 'cosy'. The rear deck of the house overlooks a creek full of gum trees and noisy bird life, including three vocal Kookaburras who visit us each day hoping to get fed.

While the location poses somewhat of a commuter's trek up to the city (about an hour's drive), we do have an abundance of semi rural landscapes, vineyards, art galleries & studios, beautiful beaches & more to explore right on our doorstep.

We've been here four months now and have got to know the area, schools, coastline and neighbours a little bit better (some more than others... Scott's last poker game with our neighbour Craig & his mates running to 4am!!!). It's finally beginning to feel like this is home.
