Mav when I 1st went to Australia (1982). I lived in St Kilda in Mitford Street, just up from the Village Bell.
Spent 10 years there, a lot of places are gone now (The Earls Court) on the Esplanade, Bojangles (Near the Beach) plus some other dodgy pubs up the top end of George Street.
Used to drink mainly in the Windsor Castle in Phraran, The Railway plus a few more.
Great times were had there for the time that I was there.
