I'm totally confused about this entire argument...
Dick, when I was tracking North up the VFR lane (in G) from Moorabbin to Kilmore at 2000' (cloud and terrain limited) monitoring the Area frequency, ATC warned me that there were FIVE VFR aircraft coming SOuth in the same corridor and proceeded to help us arrange separation. without which we would definitely have had an airport. Are you saying that ATC should not have provided us such a service?
