Great Ocean Road Cruise

[Autech]

Hi

I have just been thinking that an Skyline cruise down the Great Ocean Road would be a good thing considering the excellent summer weather. Would be a good opportunity for the SAU people and others to shoot the breeze and enjoy a really fun drive.

The cruise could begin in Geelong, say at Corio, which gives everyone a good meeting point. The Melbourne people could meet up in the city if they like and then cruise to Geelong or everyone can just meet in Corio. I am from country Victoria and me and my brother would meet in Geelong (2 hour drive for us ).

Starting from the meeting point at Corio, the cruise would head down the highway to Torquay with numerous stops along the GOR before finishing in Lorne.

From Lorne, we could all cruise back together or people could leave at their leisure. I was thinking that the cruise could take place in late December or early in the new year. Let me know what you guys think of my idea or if its already been done before.

those hot looking boats only weigh about 90-100kg more than your whale.

For all that it matters the speed limit at this time of year may as well be 40 as our last cruise the majority were stuck behind someone doing that and only a bayside blue r34 gtr was able to get past and have some fun!

Ah this is very true... Some other cruises I have been on were run early in the morning when recalcitrant holidaymakers are less of a problem. Also you can stop and have breakfast in Apollo Bay... Then return the less busy inland route.

We all love the less busy inland route

There also seemed to be a massive fleet of Biker cops that cruise up and down that road. Hiding here and there.

Dropping a bag of marbles out the window as they give chase could be amusing

better yet get a bull bar and drive thru em

Hmmmm... that is seriously not cool.

Anyway, they also have SS Commodores running around so there is more than just bikes to worry about.

Just note that such cruises are now only going to be open to Offical (paid-up) members. So best join b4 01/01/05, as a $20 joining fee will be introduced, on top of the $50 annual fee.
