Cruise On The 19th Of April

[thegoobie]

Damn. Did it have to be saturday?!

Unfortunately, the cruise is all geared up for the Saturday. It's a long drive so we'll need the better bat of the day to to the full round. Is there any chance you can make it on the Satuday?

[flyingfridge]

Damn, I read this thread thinking it'd be a good chance to take the R out for its first cruise and photo op but it's a Saturday! Can't make it

Ah well, there'll be plenty more cruises to go to in future.

Just posting an idea for a new cruise taking in the beach, city and mountains.

Full tank of fuel reccomended at first meet point

DATE: Saturday 19th of April

TIME: Meet at 2:00pm depart 2:30pm

TOTAL CRUISE TIME one way including stops (Approx): 4 - 4.5 HOURS

Meet Point: Car Park on the Esplanade between Maidstone St. and Rose Street in Altona (See attached image from Google Earth) Go over the West Gate Bridge and as soon as you step off, hang a left into Cook Street and continue towards Beach Street.

Approx 45min Drive to First Stop.

First Stop: Carpark on Marine Parade at the end of Blessington Street in St. Kilda. Approx time of arrival 3:15pm. We'll probably hang around for about 15 - 20 minutes.

From here we'll head to Dandenong Road (Pincess Highway) and travel as far as Warrigal Road where we'll turn onto the Monash Freeway. Take the Wellington road exit (C413) and continue to Clematis. Here we turn Left on the C412 (Belgrave Gembrook Road) Continue through the roundabout in Emerald, continue about 6kms and go straight though the roundabout onto the C411 towards Woori Yallock. Once we hit Woori Yallock turn right onto the B380 todards Yarra Junction.

Approx 1hr 45min drive to Second Stop.

Second Stop: Yarra Juntion Carpark Arrive at about 4:30. I don't know it's exact location, but it's on the left as you enter Yarra Junction from the City Ther is a big oval and toilets, you can't miss it. It's a gravel carpark. Again.. we'll probably be around for about 20 minutes. Have something to eat etc...

From Yarra Junction we'll continue towards Noojee, and on towards Mt. Baw Baw. I think there will be a $5 cover charge per car to enter the Baw Baw National Park. If people don't want to enter the park we can just turn around at the gate and head back down the twisties.

Approx. 1 Hour drive to Final Location.

Final Location: Carpark at the top of Mt. Baw Baw. Arrive at about 6:00pm. Stop here for a while and if the numbers are up take some pretty impressive photos.

There are some awesome fast twisties leading up to Noojee and losts of sharper, slower twisties towards Mt. Baw Baw.

Matt..Well done Great looking cruise you have going here...

It would be good if i could make it .But i will be up at Oran Park that weekend..Dam it..

But what i will do is drum up some support for you.

I will spread the word and see if we can get more cars.

I will also mention it at the SAUvic G Meeting on Tuesday night..

Good luck with the Cruise mate

ps. If you in South Melbourne on Tuesday night
