My family had a house down at Somers on Westernport Bay many moons ago - great place to run wild as a kid as all the roads were dirt and we could ride our ponies or bikes everywhere. I miss that, and have some pity for kids nowadays that can't do that. It's mostly built up now and the roads are slowly getting tarmacked and it's pretty much a dormitory suburb for Frankston workers. Still one of the best and safest swimming beaches near Melbourne. And being next door to the HMAS Cerberus bomb testing range meant that it's never going to be sandwiched between suburbs like so much of the Port Phillip side. I love that part of the world. If it wasn't for the transport and supply difficulties I'd like to live on French Island.
