10th August Great Ocean Road Cruise

[qikshift]

Hey all,

I'm now posting the set times/dates for the GOR SAU cruise

Please advise in this thread if you will be coming ... so we can get an idea on numbers etc

Please advise also if your from geelong and if you will be meeting us at the Bunnings on the way through geelong.

--------- details ---------------->

Date: Sunday 10th August 2003

Meet time: 9:30am (melb)

Meet Place: shell/subway, on the exit ramp of Point Cook Rd (MEL:53, B3. The exit after Newland St)

Departure time: 10:00am (melb)

Destination: Apollo Bay (via GOR)

MAP :

--------- details ---------------->

Basically we'll be leaving melb at 10am and head towards geelong, meet any geelong SAU members at the Bunnings on the way into Geelong at approx 10:45 - 11am, this will also give ppl a chance to catch up and let us regroup.

We will then leave Geelong at 11:20am ish (once everyone has caught up) and cruise through geelong towards the GOR and onto Apollo Bay.

Once at Apollo Bay we'll group up and get some Fish n Chips YUMM hang around for however long wee feel like then head back as a group or at your own leisure

Ill have a stack of directions/exact street names, and where we will park at Apollo bay to hand out on the morning of the curise.. i'll make them up 2nite probably

Hope the regs and newbies can make it (me being a first time cruiser also lol hehe)

Hmm being a sunday is good coz that's my day off...

[Horus]

yer Im up for it as well, man I love driving along the gor

[R31Nismoid]

I'm in.

Tip for apollo bay parking.

Don't bother organising anything as there is no real 'good' spot.

And the ones you see on the map will prob be full !

Just let everyone do what we did last time and find the nearest free spots.

It's easier. Plus we can just work it out when we get there.

STILL unsure if i can make it.

But i know the area very well... go for photos at the harbour, also 'paradise' if you know where that is.

[qikshift]

yeah 31 i was thinking maybe try and find good parking cause it would be more organised that way.. but from past experiences going there i think we might just all find free spots then meet on a lawned area somewhere

spot on the money with the parkland on the left.

[inark]

why must u guys always make it a sunday!!

[qikshift]

the majority said sunday.. next one will have to be saturday i guess hehe

[Guest RedLineGTR]

how long will it take to get there aprox?

[qikshift]

id like to think we would be in apollo bay by approx 1:30 - 2pm if we leave melb at 10am(includes about 15-20min stop in geelong)

If i am not called in for work, I am DEFINITLY COMING!. As far, i should be OK

We will probabily have lunch when we arrive, then look for some photo spots, to take a few gruop snaps.

[qikshift]

my thoughts exactally al, i'm sure i'll be hell hungry by the time we get there! heheheh

[skylineakt]

I should be there. Got to find some one to cover for me at work. But definately don't want to miss this cruise. Put me down hehe.

[qikshift]

Wish I could come but I will not have my car by then.

I'd love to join, haven't been on a cruise for quite some time.

Missed the MAS and meeting other SAU members there, lots of personal life issues as just ditched my gf that week.

If no other things came up on that sunday, might join you ppl. Hope it's not too big cruise as big ones always draw too much "unwanted attention"

Hope the weather is good, so we'll get good view of the scenery...

[R31Nismoid]

Even if it is a BIG meet.

SAU does not attract unwanted attention unless you make it.

If there are idiots ripping patches then of course there will be attention.

But we've never to date (since i've been around) had police trouble on any sized meet.

So don't let that detter you

cheers,

ash

[rs73]

I guess so...

Previous HUGE cruise to Arthur's Seat drew quite a few attention from cops.. but I suppose that's more than just SAU members, as lots of cars were not even Skylines :-)

But I might go this time (80% sure) if not have to do something else on that Sunday.
