If you are ever down our way, and if you like Indian food, you MUST go to Sharma's All Star Bar and Restaurant in Rosebud.
Great food, not expensive, loads of it, and the inimitable "Sorita" (owner and host) who will give you a very good John Cleese Basil Fawlty attitude serve most times.
She's scary....especially if you say you are paying by card.
(she's actually a lovely lady when you pay cash).
Other places of interest down here;
*Point Nepean (must see).
http://www.visitvictoria.com/Region...ng/Mornington-Peninsula-Walk/Fort-Nepean-Walk
*Arthur's Seat Maze
*There is also a really cool walking track just near the entrance to The National Golf Club, where you can see literally hundreds of kangaroos almost every time you go there - called "Highfield Park" on Boneo rd. It's free.
Nepean Country Club is a good place to stay for families - very central to the whole Peninsula (don't know costs though).
* And of course; must come and visit us at our joint; have a sip and watch the boats, have a swim/spa. Accommodation is free, plenty of room, bring own bathers, bookings essential. Host is most amiable - unless the wine and beer runs out.
