I'm in.

[possumboy]

I might come along if I am free, but even if I can't I can still offer some advice on the roads down there as I used to live in Geelong and was in Apollo Bay recently.

If you want to do the Great Ocean Road, don't do it all. The bit from Lorne down to Apollo Bay is nice and you can get a couple of great bits of forest/mountain driving in aswell. Look at map 527 in the back of the melways. There is a great loop of road you can do.

Go from Geelong out towards Colac on the Princes Hwy. Lots of options here through towns like Moriac and Modewarre, but lets stay on the main road until Winchelsea. Chuck a left towards Bambra, Deans Marsh and into the top of Lorne. Lots of tight corners on forested hills through here. Go along the Great Ocean Rd from Lorne to Apollo Bay. Lots of nice driving on the coast. You can go to the town, or just short of it you turn right back towards Colac. Road goes forest again to a town called, you guessed it, Forrest. Up via Birregurra to the Colac-Geelong bit of the Princes Hwy. Go back to Winchelsea and just out of town take a turn north to an old mansion called Barwon Park (it is on tourist maps). Great photo op with this bluestone house with a white cast iron balcony out front. Quick blast back to Geelong (road not well policed) before a quiet cruise to Melbourne.

My 2 cents worth!

[E-Gene]

Very valuable advice there dude. If you could join us and lead the way, that'll be even better, but thanks for the advice anyway. :D

Do we have radios? We should probably go out and get some or borrow some for that day, otherwise our mobile bills will be sky-high.

D!ck smith electronics are selling a pair of two ways for $58. 3km clear sight range - they should be adequate.

[kcorro]

3 to 3 talk for free.

[Pecker]

i got free calls on orange..

but... the old 2 way would be cool, that we we are all on the one channel...

[Blackzze]

Hey Everyone I'm In :D

At least one of the mini-meets, and most likley the afternoon one.....

[E-Gene]

Any plans on what the exact route is?

Actually it's easier to meet nearer to the west cos it's on the way to Geelong. But I guess what's been planned is fine as well. Remember the car park where we had our first meet? That's a pretty good place to gather everyone. It's pretty easy to find as well.

[possumboy]

Guys, call me about 80% certain that I can make the meet, but 0% for the long drive. Got some work I gotta do! Would you guys be interested in me photocopying the Melways and marking those roads I suggested?

[kcorro]

sorry i think i will now just come for the meet up and not whore on the car cruise. look forward to seeing you all on sunday! 10:30 early!

also not coming is toms02, cougs, itrunx.

Excellent idea bro! Thanks, that'll be really useful.
