	Walkabout - Portsea
		Portsea is a popular, but rather exclusive, seaside holiday resort of some 550 people located 6 metres above sea-level and 93 km south of Melbourne.
		Although Portsea faces northwards onto the calm waters of Port Phillip Bay the peninsula is so thin at this point that the residential area almost reaches to the southern side of the promontory which faces Bass Strait.
		Portsea Back Beach is popular with swimmers and surfers, although the waters can be rough and dangerous (i.e., swim between the flags).

	Portsea Lime Kiln
		Beneath the cliffs at Portsea where luxury holiday homes command enviable views of Port Phillip Bay is a bathing box that is, in heritage terms at least, equally as impressive.
		Portsea stands at the tip of the Mornington Peninsula and it was this area which saw much of the State's lime burning activity.
		Although the Portsea lime kiln's conversion occurred well before heritage legislation came into being it remains an excellent example of how buildings can be given a new lease of life without detracting from their cultural heritage significance.

		The parish of Portsea expanded greatly in the 1800's, and the second church was demolished and a new, much larger one was built in 1889.
		It appears that George and Ellen moved around a lot in the Portsea area after their marriage, since on each of their children's birth records a different address was shown.
		George James Hyde Graves (12) was born 14 May 1879 in Portsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, and died in the U.S. He married Ella Purdy, apparently in England, and had 3 sons and a daughter.

		Cameron, 21, has been restricted to limited training since tearing ligaments and pinching cartilage in her right knee during the ski leg of the final race in round one on the Gold Coast on December 28.
		In-form Cameron, who has won six out of her past seven ironwoman races, has been undergoing daily physiotherapy in a bid to be fit for the second round of the three-race series.

	Victoria's Top 50 Public access golf courses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Living in the most compact Mainland State, Victorian golfers are blessed indeed with access to around 400 courses including a string of fine layouts along the NSW border.
		In keeping with previous editions, we not only list all (private and public) courses throughout Victoria, but we rank the best of the public access courses according to the same criteria as used for the Australian ranking.
		There is no doubt that the standards are becoming higher each year, and we emphasise that whilst courses may appear to move down our list, in many cases this is despite an overall improvement in their scores - it is just that we judged improvements elsewhere to be even greater.

		Harold Holt disappeared while swimming at Cheviot Beach near Portsea, Victoria on 17 December, 1967.
		Without determining the cause of Holt's death, a joint report by Commonwealth and Victoria Police, submitted in January 1968, concluded that, '… there has been no indication that the disappearance of the late Mr Holt was anything other than accidental'.
		The report (see copy on file A1209, 1968/8063) found that his last movements followed a routine domestic pattern, his demeanour had been normal and despite his knowledge of the beach, the turbulent conditions (high winds, rough seas and rip tides) overcame him.
