But farrk would be good if my taxes went to sealing it all the way So you can't do it end to end if you're afraid of dirt roads and the dirt road was more potty than Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men But it really is still worth doing it to the edge of the sealed road - there is are really great photo opp there by the river.So here's the route for the Archeron Way Cruise:10:30am leave Diamond Creek Maccas. Lunch at Healesville about 1pm. Finish at Pakenham about 3pm. It's better if the route is done that way rather than the other way. We do the Black Spur twice on this route as well - it's nice scenery Wanted to keep the cruise a bit shorter - so decided not to do Reefton Spur and Marysville.There is 5km of dirt road near Mt Donna Buang included but it's well maintained and smooth as a baby's bottom so nothing to be scared of there. I personally drove it and couldn't tell the difference between it and the sealed road MEET:Depart 10:30am Diamond Creek MaccasROUTE:LUNCH:Beechworth Bakery in Healesville.BRING:CB Radio (optional), Camera, Sunnies , Brolly (if it's drizzling )RULES: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...2. There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members.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 Radios - if you don't have one, follow the maps and directions given out. It is highly recommended to have CB as it enhances the enjoyment of the cruise being able to hear about road hazards and join in on the social chatter.5. Please turn up to the meeting points with a sufficient fuel in your tank and enough time before the departure time.6. Onus is on the owner/driver to ensure their vehicle is safe to drive on public roads and meets State road traffic authority laws.7. Please ensure you have a contingency plan if you have a breakdown or unnecessarily delayed. e.g. Roadside Assistance or a mate in another car who is willing to stay with you if necessary.8.
