Okie doke, just gettign in early (book holidays etc)...

First and foremost, I have no idea about Melbourne. Never been, have not heard much about accomodation, meals, mobility, distances etc.

Guess I'm just getting the ball rolling for someone who does know what they are talking about to chip in with ideas?

What's the preferred run, leave as a group Friday morning and return on Monday?

I'm happy to drive down with the group, and depending on how things unfold may be prepared to stay a few days extra, but not sure yet.

Fire away!

As you know im keen for the trip, like you I was thinking about heading down on the Friday, but am thinking of heading back on the Wednesday.

Bundoora is the north side of town, so if you're hunting for accom look around the north area. There are also a number of us that live around the east, so we'd be able to help out with tag alongs and etc.

We've generally always done a leave friday, come back monday when we go to sydney, which I think is good, gives you the whole of saturday to muck about, explore, cruise, wash cars and get drunk etc.

Remember SEDF is on the 6th of feb, so book in those holidays now!

Yeah I wanna do this weekend properly. I'm up for leaving on the Friday morning and coming back up all refreshed and dubbed-up on the Monday.

I usually stay at Preston. There's a decent (cheap and comfortable) hotel on Bell St called Sleep-n-Go. It's like, 10-15 minutes from Bundoora I think it was, and it's a couple minute drive down to Dom's place if we need to rendezvous with a local. There's a Rydges next door to it if you wanna splash out a bit, or if you're lucky, get a free upgrade over there if Sleep-n-Go has no more vacancies and you booked beforehand (happened to us for DOVW this year!).

Wahhhahahaooo

Yeah boot down Friday, party Friday night. Cruise, laugh BBQ Saturday with a big dinner Saturday night. Sunday sshow with BBQ/cruise/photo's afterwards. Cruise home Monday.

As regards to accomidation suburbs near by:
- Watsonia
- Macleod
- Rosana
- Heildelburg

All close to the show, not too dodgy and plenty of shops etc.

I missed dovw this year so want to get down for this.

Down friday back Monday works fine and is the best option for sure.

yeeeepp, i'm in...just name a time and place and i'll be there!!

[rayray086]

Some of us will come from the west so we'll probably end up meeting up with yous somewhere on the Hume. There's a Maccas near the Moss Vale exit and that's where we met up with Matt (static1800) who lives down in Nowra. We should make that a pit-stop.

[fuzion]

I should be good to come down however ill prob just meet the syd people there. Not a fan of convoy driving lol

[Burgs]
