The best and most productive winegrowing region in Oz is just south of here. And some small-scale chocolate and fudge factories. And some brilliant surfing, breath-taking views, and a backpacker hostel which is about to be running Mandrake 8.2 (I can show you another in Fremantle with 9x Mandrake 8.1 in it). BTW, I'm a teetotaller.* (-: Cheers; Leon * but some of the local grape juice, if not rotted, tastes world-class... (-:
