Planning on staying Sunday night at the Omeo Hotel. Then Monday morning heading down towards the Princes Highway or I may go via Mt Hotham and do a side trip up Mt Buffalo - not sure yet.Anybody have any questions as we approach the cruise date?

I suggest you do it before you need it though because they charge a lot more if you upgrade after you need the tow etc. Scared the hell when I broke down middle of nowhere but thanks to Senna - he got me going again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hope your tyres are in good condition for wet roads and might be prudent to change the rubber on your wipers. One thing that keeps my hopes up for good weather is that the temperatures are indicative of northerly winds - relatively higher temperatures and increasing as the weekend rolls in compared with earlier in the week. But I can see a fairly significant low pressure system coming in over the bite on Thu onwards. Why are we so fixated with weather Should give the cruise a different perspective though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be great if the weekend was like this (maybe a touch cooler from a Mexican point of view )So washed the car yesterday and checked the tyres. Not game to touch the ICC at this point of time to unjam the CD so gonna stick with the iPhone and a FM transmitter Hope everyone who is coming have got their accommodation sorted out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
