where the heck is Heathpool?

In behind Marryatville bounded by Portrush road and Tusmore Avenue

[BenchedEagle]

And how does one get Colonel Light Gardens from that anagram when there are six letters and not three? Or was there a trick in there that I didn't see?

Look where the commas are?


14. CHASTENED LOGROLLING, ENTANGLED SCHOOLGIRL, DANGLING CHOLESTEROL - What suburb is an anagram of all these? (note, there's ONE answer, not THREE)

[Dissident]

Well from what I can tell I got the following completely right;

3 and 10 (whoopee do!)

And for part points;

2 (half), 5 (half)

So I did crap!

Just a couple of things though. If the right answer to 13 is Tonsley Park, where the heck is Heathpool? And how does one get Colonel Light Gardens from that anagram when there are six letters and not three? Or was there a trick in there that I didn't see?

Heathpool is east of the city about 4 minutes

And I should get and extra point for being the only one to come up with the FULL story on the answer to Q.10! Given I'm a Vic and I still knew that one!

(oh and was I close on Q.4?)

If you drove half way up - yes.
