Ummm, I think it was actually Barnes & Barnes who sang Fish Heads, though they did receive airplay on Dr. Demento's radio station. (Of course, I've been wrong on many things before so why listen to me:)
Great photo.

Gary, stop thinking and get out there. I do love Melbourne. My sister Amy (you remember, the one who opened b.bottles with her teeth, though she's moved beyond that now) live there for several years & i spent some time visiting her. Be sure to see the penguins at Phillips Island. The cemetery is interesting - odd area dedicated to Elvis Presley, really. Hire a driver for the day and do a Yarra valley wine tour. Ocean road is lovely.
Get out there, do it. Rent a car to see Ocean road. Have a great time.

Hey Gary, My computer connection is a bit f*d so not sure if others have said the same as I - but basically, I have found when I am traveling the only way to stay in shape is to treat exercise as part of my daily routine just as I would at home. Even when I backpacked through Asia I brought my running shoes with me , and went running 3-5 mornings a week. I got a lot of funny looks, but it made a huge difference. I also rented bikes frequently to get around - did that in Asia, Australia, & Europe.
Good luck. Liz
