OK, OK.

How about a holiday at Nareen?

I guess I am pretty biased in only welcoming Brisbane members. Trying to change that now and welcome everyone!

Only welcoming YOUR locals!!

Had never occurred to me

Now if I made it only people from Ashburton I could enjoy my self at this

Has the withdrawal of our national welcome mat/maratime borders been applied to audiophiles as well?

If the world had armpits, that would be an ideal location for one them.

You are onto something there! I will only frisk Dudleyites as they leave.

I have fond memories of my Mum after much pleading on a ridiculously hot Melb weekend, running us down to Ashburton Pool and it's two diving boards and of course the diving pool was so much more fun than the (later built) Glen Waverley Pool which had a kiddies pool and an Olympic size one but no diving pool where you could do stomach/wedding tackle damaging bombs like you could do at the Ashburton Pool.

But then Henry Bolte's Government and John Gorton's decided to build that marvelous complex...The Harold Holt Memorial Pool; it had a 25 yard/metre indoor heated pool, it had a kiddies pool where they'd be hard pressed to drown because of it's shallowness, it had the obligatory Olympic sized pool and then there was the...DIVING POOL!

Circular, 16 foot deep...yes you read that correctly...16 f/ing foot deep, whereas Ashburton's was a mere 12 foot, grassy mounds surrounded it and you could lay there and suntan and show off to the chicks(they were called that back then) and when the Wally with the Lifeguard hat wasn't watching you'd climb over the locked gate to the 10 metre diving platform and jump and do the biggest...bloody bomb your ever going to see if you survived it and didn't take out some kid below you.

Irresponsible? Of course, totally. Dangerous? Of course. Potential for serious injury to yourself or others? Well, if they weren't looking up then that's their fault but then the chances of timing your ginormous bomb so that the backwash wave took the top off the chick with the big...erm...chest was foremost in your mind and if she squealed...it was then a job well done and was duly noted by all the onlookers male and female with wolf whistles and hand claps.

A mate and I took a portable plastic record player there one year and played the brand new Cat Stevens album and soon after a couple of epic 10 metre bomb fails...we had chicks rubbing oil into the very sore red shoulders and asking us to repeat certain Cat Stevens songs.

Ah yes, it was an innocent time

Great memories

I moved to glen waverley in about 64 we had an orchard at end of street only 500m from Springdale rd

holt pool a bit off my track but know the others well

Grew up in Mt Waverley near High Street, went to Syndal Tech...tough school back then, thugs only, no girls.

I remember the orchards around our area and the market gardens and that Glen Waverley was the end of the rail line and past that it was kinda rural and bushy and the Dandenongs beckoned.

Yeah the Holt pool was off track a bit but if memory serves, if mum was too busy to take us all the way there she would drive to Burwood road(I think) and we'd get a tram to it.
