    Out near Bonalbo is the infamous "upper duck creek road" stolen & replaced, stolen & replaced and so on, and down the road is "lower duck creek road" not nearly as funny.

    There's an area and road called "Fairyland" just down the road. Named after the race track that was there almost 100 yrs ago. We've got a few knobs around the place: Yorkey's Knob, Bone's Knob, Sackley's Knob. Also a Narcotic Creek on the tablelands.

    My old man has a photo of himself taken under the sign at 'Little Baldy' near Mt Hotham. Yes he is bald and he has hunched himself over in the photo. Very amusing. We laughed and laughed...
