JohnFowles,

Thanks for posting Billy Connolly at William Ricketts Sanctuary in the Dandenong Ranges (1 hour east of Melbourne). Yes, it's a wonderful place and it's a pity you didn't get there. It sounds like you were taken to Healesville Sanctuary instead.

I remember the TV series of Billy Connolly's journey across Australia. The episode covering Melbourne and the state of Victoria included the Old Melbourne Gaol (where bushranger Ned Kelly was hanged before the death penalty was banned) and Cheviot Beach, Portsea (where Prime Minister Harold Holt presumably drowned - his body was never found).

Good luck with contacting Ron. I hope he responds soon.
