(It was a nice pub too - quite rustic and - dare I say it - English.)
We had some visitors over from the UK last summer and they insisted I took them to Ramsay St!! It's just a normal residential Melbourne St - but sure enough, there was the Robinson's, Mrs Mangle's, Madge & Harold's. I was quite disappointed tho not to see one of the residents just popping next door with an 'extra' casserole that they'd made!!
Anyone know where the other old Aussie soaps were filmed? (Sons and Daughters, the Cedar Tree, etc)

Yes, The Sullivans. Michael Caton who was in this now does a show called Hot Property and Hot Auctions. The former is shown in the UK on Home and Leisure channel. He was also in a brillian film called 'The Castle' which had a follow-up not quite as good called 'The Dish'.
Flying Doctors is shown 6 days a week on UK Gold at 6.30 am or thereabout each day except Saturday. There were over 220 episodes, when they finish they go back to the start. They are about half way through at the moment, including Shane O'Brien.
A Country Practice was mainly filmed at Wandin at the back of the Dandenongs near Melbourne, I think. Current favourites include Blue Heelers (filmed at Williamstown, Castlemaine, the You Yangs and other bits near Melbourne) and Stingers. Last visit to Oz in August we by chance saw filming of both programs 3 or 4 times and got some pics and spoke to the cast members (Blue Heelers in Williamstown and Stingers at Beacon Cove/Garden City).
Pin Oak Court in Vermont South = Ramsay Street in Neighbours. Been there lots of times. The photos of the houses and cast members give me enormous 'street cred' with my pupils at school. I went to school in Williamstown with Ian Smith (Harold Bishop) - he 5 years ahead of me!
Prisoner Cell Block H. Now there's a classic, so bad it has a cult following. 'Susan Kennedy' and 'Lyn Scully' currently in Neighbours were both in it.
There's a few things to kick the thread along

I've got a feeling that E-Street is on Aus TV at the moment - I think it's on after Judge Judy (now there's a hilarious show!). Is it from the 80s? If it's the one I'm thinking of, there's some very young looking ex-Neigbours/H&A people in it. Where is E-street based/filmed?
I know, I know, I must watch too much daytime TV!

There was another police one, was it called police rescue? it was set in sydney and they were always cutting people out of car wrecks and things, the bloke that played the lead used to be married to her that was kate from the flying doctors but i cant remember who he was. And the guy he worked alongside was supposed to be greek.

Snowy River I remember well - there's been a few film versions and a series. I also just thought of a show set in the Fire Service in Brisbane - 'Joe Scully' in Neighbours was in it.

Thanks for that link, I'll have a shufty some time. Henderson Kids is another series I just remembered. Kylie was in that and it was filmed at Williamstown, Melbourne a lot (where I come from). I'd be more intested in seeing Kylie now

Have a look here for all the locations on Neighbours:
http://www.erinsborough.com/locations/index.htm
This site is the unofficial official site. It's heaps better than the official one.
There's heaps of recent interviews with actors, production people and story people. And on the forum in Questions and Answers the script producers answer questions. They even know all the regular posters on there, cos they read the forum all the time.
On of the forums moderators lives in Melbourne, as has spent time in the story office at Nunawadding ? and he does most of the interviews with the people.
Enjoy!

This was a question answered on above mentioned site:
Q: How come we have seen so many ex Prisoner Cell Block H actors join Neighbours over the years? Neighbours must hold the record for the show which most ex Prisoner stars have went on to!
(Chris, UK)
Jan Russ(casting director): Dear Chris, The actors you mention live in Melbourne and both shows have been made here. Actually many other shows here have some of the ex-Prisoner cast in them - they are very changeable and sometimes in that age group we don't always have a large pool of actors to cast from. However, thank you for being so observant.
Neighbours people who were in Prisoner:
Jackie Woodburne(Susan Kennedy)
Elspeth Ballantyne(Cathy Alessi)
Anne Phelan(Claudia-Harolds friend when he came back with amnesia)
Lois Collinder(Miss Techendorf)
Gerda Nicolson(Robyn Taylor)
Maureen Edwards(Ruby)
Anne Charleston(Madge)
Colette Mann(Stand in Cheryl Stark)
The actress who played Susan Cole.
Shane Connor (Bongo Connors)
Janet Andrewartha (Reb Kean),
Tom Oliver (Ken Pearce)
Ian Smith (Ted Douglas)
Maggie Millar (Marie Winter)
Kirsty Child (Willie Beecham)
I think there's more, but this is what I've found.

Yes, E-street is on daytime T.V.
I love Muriel's wedding so much...
"Are you black?" Muriel to swimmer
"I thought you became a drug user, a prostitute!" - Mother to Muriel
"MUM, MAKE DAD A CUP OF TEA!!!" - Children to Mother.
Then she puts it in the microwave! LMAO
"Deadrie (sp) Chambers... what a coincidence!"
"Finish your orgasm..."
I think I might rent it tomorrow.
