As a fan of tea-tree and sleepy coastal Victorian hamlets, I found a lot to like about Somers, on the Mornington Peninsula.
Nice empty beaches, low-rise low-fuss architecture, and not too far from Melbourne. Win win win.
Our holiday rental home away from home came with the essential mad furniture, eclectic music collection (Daryl & Ozzie, Cleo Lane, and INXS??) and mismatching 'art' on the wall.
Intriguingly the citizens of Somers recently voted against the introduction of a to-your-door postal service, in favour of everyone having to march down to the general store to collect their mail, and consequently running into their co-Somerians for a chin-wag. Is that enforced socialising? Charming, or like RSVP for offliners?
