Many people are trying to find their calling.   But that doesn't explain Marianne Money, bank manager, or Jim Kardwell, who owns a card company. Or Thomas Duck who started Ugly Duckling rent-a-car and Tito Beveridge who makes vodka.

We also chanced upon Le Peche Gourmand Pattiserie in Creswick which turned out to be awesome . It was almost worth the trip just for the deli...
