Family holiday to Paynesville. It's a place that time forgot. Once the French Riviera of Victoria, now a home the aged and the Bogan. Websites lie ! Riverside restaurants were empty and dilapidated, the high streets full of empty shops from a bygone era. The place was so desolate that even the fish had left. The food was ordinary to the point of forgetfulness and the ambiance was non-existent. The only silver lining was Raymond Island and the kids happiness of getting away. I love those two boys and someday I'll be a good dad.
