Hey,
Just wanted to say thank you for accepting me onto your forums. Coming from Victoria I was wondering whether the rest of the world would think we are all still in lock down😂
Happy to say that phase has now passed and is in the rear view mirror.
As soon as the weather improves….. might even get to do some shooting!
Cheers,
Marcus.
Welcome and enjoy. Lots on here to keep you occupied in the meantime.
Thank you for the welcome. There is a wealth of knowledge on here for sure!
Glad to see someone in VIC is not underwater! Welcome.
Welcome mate.
Lived for 6 years between Tyabb and Western Port Bay. Used to see the odd fox. And jo blakes of course.
Hi Zimmer, I am in Somerville just around the corner from Tyabb. The odd fox is right…. and a rabbit plague if you know the right property.
Hi Ben, too right. On the Mornington Peninsula, we just got a bit wet. The poor buggers in other places got wiped out. There has been some carnage amongst the horse breeding properties as well unfortunately.
Welcome aboard
As always, it's a small world. We lived on McKirdys Road (before the "tip" was opened.) Other wildlife memory is of millions of plovers.Quote:

Had clients on McKirdy’s Rd. and a few pub meals at the Sommie. Small world…. Hate to paint it though😂
G'day mate, another Victorian here, I have been in NZ 7.5 years now though.
I'm from Bendigo originally but spent a decent amount of time down your way.
G’day Makka! Apologies, was away for a while and missed your post. How’s NZ treating you? Gotta be drier than Victoria at the moment.
Bendigo! Was there earlier in the year and Melbourne. Old haunts of mine many years ago. The Mornington Peninsular is a nice part of the world. Your on the way to Philip Island, I watched the F1 bikes there in 1998 and Mr Mick Doohan win and do a helmet free victory lap.
Welcome to the Forum.
Thanks for the welcome 300CM. Yeah, the Peninsula is a good piece of dirt👍
G'day my Mexican friend.
I live North of Mildura but I'm happy to see another Aussie here.
Thank you! I have to come clean though…… born and bred in QLD!
That's a big admission. So, not a true Victorian? A closet banana bender :-)
😂
Much drier haha, never thought I would say that!Quote:

Hi @Marlin45. Welcome. I lived near Maldon for years. Used to shop in Bendigo and sold many rabbits to a couple of butchers up there. Shot a lot of foxes and hares, around home too. Just as a bonus we had a shitload of browns on our place. Killed two of our dogs, the bastards. But a beautiful place to live, with long hot days hunting smallgame and teaching the lad about safety and shooting. Having lived in Brisbane and Sydney, I found Melbourne and country Vic a far better place to live.
Welcome Mate
