The Town Named After a Famous Football Team

Geoff Burt On our second day in Toronto we took the plunge and hired a car to drive north.

Driving on the "wrong" side of the road took a deal of concentration, with Pat doing some exquisite white knuckle work on her seat.

David would be interested to know that we had a Pontiac Impala - sorry silver Pontiac Impala.

After battling the Toronto suburban traffic we headed north on National Highway 1 - called Highway 400 in this part of the world - and stopped in a town/city called Barrie for a coffee etc.

We think the traffic problems are bad in Melbourne. Nothing compared with urban Toronto, especially in the CBD.

Barrie is about 110 km due north of Toronto.

We wanted to look at the lake in that part of the world. Lake Huron, part of the Great Lakes has a large bay on its eastern side - Georgian Bay - and the largest town on its southern shore is Collingwood.

Well, how could we missed a visit there?

Had lunch nearby, after photographing the water tower and drove on north to a town called Midland.

We were running out of time by this stage so instead of going further north we headed back the 160 km to Toronto and into the traffic snarl.

A good, but tiring day.

We looked around but couldn't find Buckley Street or Road. Strange that!
