If you ever wondered where Paradise is, search no more. We found it today at the above global coordinates. Today's travels took us to--guess where? Yup. Another beach...called Paradise. And Paradise it was. Paradise may be where you find it, and we found it at the southern tip of the 90 mile beach. We had a plan: buy the makings of a gourmet lunch at Coles before leaving Bairnsdale, and stop in Paradise for lunch on the beach. Yi had her ever-present sulu (a Fijian sarong that you can wear or use as a table cloth), and we had our cheese, salami, bread, hummus, and cherries for dessert lunch. It was difficult to leave Paradise, but we know how to find our way back, and you can too with the coordinates we've given you.
Paradise Beach: 38 degrees 11' 42" South, 147 degrees 25' 23" East
I guess I had Paradise on the mind, and almost forgot to mention the first few hours of the day as we drove across what could have been the West in the USA. Flat terrain for long distances with cattle ranches and fields of grain. The Australian twist is the sheep stations.

...and we safely arrived at Yi's sister's (Sin Ling) house in Mooroolbark. Was Yi's mother ever happy to see her after two years!
David, I am scrolling through and reading your photos and descriptions with much envy and pleasure. It looks like you and Yi are having a wonderful time. You won't want to come home, I fear.... Well, maybe you will. Sounds like you might be going to a few weddings in the not too distant future. Wishing you a very Happy New Year... I am sure it is going to be great and full of adventures. Love,

Thanks for the note; we're enjoying our visit. We're hoping to visit a few more places in the next few weeks. Cheers, David
