Getting it started early so we don't have too much chat though out the photo thread.
Plus I stuffed up my dates.
I took my photo only 6 years ago, not 12 like I put in the spoiler... oops!
Thanks lurker for giving me the idea of putting text in a spoiler, I like.

Me thinks I'm a tad older than you... but yes Balwyn is a beautiful area.
I enjoyed going back and checking out some of the 10 suburbs I live in around Melbourne.
There was also 3 years in regional Victoria, all before I was 18 - I had a very hectic up bringing.

We lived not far from Fintona, on the Canterbury Balwyn border.
I know nearly every inch of Balwyn/Canterbury.
It would be funny if I know your family or kids that went to Balwyn primary.
I went to Canterbury Girls Secondary School many years ago....

Would love to see more pics if you feel like posting them ..... I do recall one with a bathtub filled with plants.
Did you ever put the Gardens of Stone on your agenda to visit?
I'll post some more pics tmorrow, we haven't gone anywhere for a bit because our son moved out so we don't have the live in animal sitter but planning on going to Medlow Bath in March because the Hydro Majestic is re-opening this month so hope to get there then.

That will be enjoyable and interesting - I thought it had already opened though. My kin went there for an opening lunch a few weeks ago and then back to Boiler House Cafe for a more low-key lunch last week. Would be good to see the old institution up and running again .
Look forward to your additional pics tomorrow
