Noooo .............

[TRolla]

i loved that Yarra Junction to Mt Donna Buang Lookout cruise and noojee was a great pub and meals....

I'll start to look around down my way for some cruise ideas, if we all didn't mind someone less high paced i could organize one along the peninsular through mornington up to Mt Martha etc along the beach road then up aurthers seat for some pictures lil bit of spirited up hill driving and time for anyone to head down then back up if they wanted lol, then maybe some higher speed driving out the back of red hill to pt leo/flinders way.

Just an idea.. or we could go even further and lunch at portsea pub or sorrento....

[jaderd]

i can take us on a fast paced action back cruise if you all like

Melbourne to Mildura - 550km each way......flat and straight road.......no real twisties though :)........home cooked meal off the olds for all

lol.......nah im easy with cruises guys.....everything you have mentioned sounds great

Just went for cruise with Guni and Blind kid Seeks, they came around i was passenger..........went for test of afew of the cruise routes.....ill let andy add in exact routes im not sure..........checked out locations for lunch around the are..........chatted about maybe a bbq byo meat near yarra in warrandyte (need to confirm bbq at location...i can check this one night this week) or if no bbq there or allowed is always the awesome bakery in warrandyte..........nice pies and pasties etc.

cheers

[Silly-Karr]

Far out you guys must really have a fat wad of money for petrol?

Always cruising around damn :P

[Guni]

The following are the result of today's recon ....

Was well worth it to have such a view ..........

[Guni]

On the way home, BKS and I drove on this street .........

nice trees i must say. Drive there was great and looking that I will miss the actual cruise end of the month, it was good.

Lucky we went there as there were no BBQ pits which i then suggest someone bring a portable barbee or just build some from the surrounding logs and get a "high quality" mesh from bunnings or something as we don't want anything to melt. Remember to bring garbage bags as there are no bins around.

Some roads are tighter than Korumbarra so beware and be safe.

These are just my 2 cents, BKS will fill in the details or correct me ....

Cheers guys.

[jaderd]

yeah chatted to GF's olds, they reckon there is no real public bbqs or areas around there for bbq as NP sort of areas, best option may be warrandyte pub meal for lunch or assorted bakery items at teh awesome bakery they have there, ufortuantely Guni cant make it on day as he will be OS, so he got to have a cruise there today so he is happy now :).......thanx for the pics too guni.......such a nice are there.......be great in late spring/early summer

[Blind Kid Seeks]

Hey guys,

Thanks for coming with to check out the run today...

As a warning the run through the back of Eltham/research is VERY tight... as Guni Said... MUCH tighter than the korumburra run.. if you could imagine a single lane road that has two way traffic.. through a forest with hair pins and blind off camber corners. YAY!!!! I have driven the road many times.. but i forgot that some of you could get over excited and just want flat out right foot action, which would most certainly see you wrap your car around a tree or a house... or cyclist...

we'll need to find another place for lunch as the BBQ area was non existant... Ghey....

I'm sure theres plenty of options for Pub's or Cafe's for a coffie/sandwhich/foccacia/hotdog in surrounding suburbs.

Can't make next cruise boys, I'm interstate on the 31st, have fun though! Will be waiting to see photos :)
