proposed melb cruise Sunday 4th of Nov

[Tim]

Now that the bay cruise has come and gone and some of us missed out cos it was run on a saturday. Ive got itchy feet.

what im thinking is as follows. But feel free to make suggestions and we can fine tune it.

DATE: Sunday 4th of Nov

MEET POINT: somewhere close to maroondah hwy open to suggestion. keep in mind i wouldnt wanna lose anyone b4 we take get there!

DESTINATION: I wanna do a healesvile > black spur > reefton spur > healesville circuit. Possibly take in a little bit of toolangi forrest on the way in if someone knows a decent way of approaching it?

TIMEFRAME: Im thinking a 10am start from suburbia to arrive at maroondah dam (hopefully via toolangi) by 11 and have some lunch in the park there. There are BBQ facilities and plenty of picnic tables.

By around 12 we can hit the spur. It might suffer a bit from GOR syndrome in that traffic wont be the best. But once we turn off towards marysville and come back via reefton it should be a lot better.

Regroup back at healesville somewhere have a bit of a chin wag and then its time to head home id say by mid arvo.

There are a couple nice waterfalls along the way and the park at maroondah dam is quite nice as it sits at the foot of the HUGE dam wall which u can go for a climb across as well.

anyways. Just thinking out loud.

here is a map for reference

Making the trek over the tasman that weekend for abit of Baskerville action.

Hopefully you get a good turnout & good weather.

Remember to organise CB's. The make a world of difference.

U could meet in the Coles Carpark in Ringwood opposite the Holden Dealer ship

Id be pushing it to have my car ready to we recon we could do another cruise in December or is everyone too busy... Say a meet up on Saturday arvo, talk, photos then a bite to eat then maybe hit the cruise strips, city, Knox Ozone, Lygon St, Chaple etc and be fully sick dubbers

[Tim]

i picked this date cos i dont want people to get cruise overload! Im sure a lot of people will be heading off to day of the VW at the end of nov. I realise it may not be a good time for Uni students but oh well. if they cant make it there will be others. small or large group the cruises are always fun and if you dont have a car im sure there are plenty of people that have a spare seat.

Ringwood is potentially a good meet spot.

Does anyone know any of the backroads that lead into kinglake? I might have a bit of a scout run thru there with a mate to see if we can find something worth diverting for.

Im thinking of maybe trying to do at least one cruise a month. even if they end up only small at least people that cant come to one may be able to come to another.

if anyone has any awesome cruise routes that they know. Feel free to email them to me tim@vr6.com.au

I have a new golf and it needs to be driven!
