MirbooMirboo is a quaint little spread out country village nestled in the rolling hills of the Strzelecki ranges. It is distinguished in that it used to be a thriving village complete with schools, pub, community hall and several shops. For some reason it quietly succumbed to become a backwater forgotten whilst it neighbour, Mirboo North grew in importance. Mirboo now still has a community hall and several houses still remain in quiet seclusion among the fertile farms that abound the area. Most of the homes lie along the “Tarwin” river that provide fishing as well as freshwater crays. Occasionally one catches a glimpse of platypuses, koala bears and wombats as well as a vast variety of birds and flora. The area around Mirboo is richly wooded but not to an extent that causes a fear of fires that Australia is famous. Mirboo North offers a number of quality dining options. Cafes, a bakery, pubs and pizzeria provides quality fare at reasonable prices. And of course the service is all 100% country hospitality. Whilst in town, be sure to visit the local chocolatier to taste mouthwatering delights, or sample an award winning beer at the local boutique brewery.

A first at Mirboo where a pensioner wanted to enter “Cyberspace”. He obtained a high powered PC for a reasonably low price from GreenPC. He is getting connected to the Internet through an affordable Satellite link that will enable him to not only look for interesting information but also allows him to keep in contact with his widespread family. Further information can be obtained by clicking the GreenPC LOGO at the top right of this page. If any help is required in assessing what type of PC is suitable that can be obtained from GreenPC or you need an existing PC’s capability assessed, also what is involved getting connected to the Internet please contact me at mirboo@mirboo.net for free advice. Don’t let age bar you from the Internet age. Wilf Gerrard-Staton. |
