Optionally only for those coming from the Western Suburbs, Dagabond has kindly suggested meeting up at the Westgate Shell Servo/KFC Melbourne bound (Mel Ref 42 H12) departing there at 10am to go together to the nominal starting point of the cruise at Bunnings Scoresby. Takes a bit less than 1/2 an hour (follow Dagabond). Please let Dagabond know by PM or post if you intend to meet up with him at the Westgate Shell Servo/KFC Melbourne bound.

RULES:

In order for every body to have a good time, a few rules have been implemented. Failure to abide by these rules will ensure you are not invited to future events held by FordXR6Turbo.com.

The reasons for these rules are:

Safety – We don’t want to put any of our members, and the general public in any danger.

Public Perception – We do not want the Ford XR6 Turbo community to face the same ridicule and stereotypes other car communities face.

The rules are simple:

1. Obey all laws whilst on the cruise; this means no speeding, no overtaking over double lines (no matter how safe you think it may be), etc...Any breaches will be reported to the local police.

2. There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members. There is also a designated cruise anchor that will stay at the back of the cruise. You must not overtake the cruise leader, or fall behind the anchor. If you have to stop or drop back for what ever reason, the anchor will stay back with you.

3. Use the Buddy system; always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn to make sure nobody gets lost.

4. CB Radio’s; if you don’t have one, follow the maps, and directions given out. If you do have one, please limit chatter during the twisty parts of the cruise. This will allow the cruise leader to relay information about road conditions, upcoming obstacles, etc. efficiently.

5. By attending this cruise you agree not to hold FordXR6Turbo.com, it’s Administrators, Moderators, Cruise Organisers/Cruise Controllers, or Owner responsible/liable for any damage and/or grief sustained (simply; if you stuff up it’s your fault, not ours).

Upper Yarra Reservoir Information

I have spoken to the Park Ranger at Upper Yarra Reservoir about carparking and he said it will not be an issue. If you have any questions you can contact him on 5966 8566. Upper Yarra Reservoir - Good chance for a photo shoot at the lookout and to stretch the legs. Upper Yarra Reservoir is the third largest of Melbourne's water storage reservoirs. It has a capacity of 200,000 megalitres (200,000,000,000 litres). The dam wall is 90 metres high, 610 metres long and was completed in 1957.
