Yep, l'll second that, its a great drive. The Marysville bakery is also excellent.l would be interested in an overnight run, but would prefer to do it late in the year when the weather is on the improve. What length of drive would people be looking for? l personally love Merimbula and really enjoy the drive from Bairnsdale on, but it may be a bit far Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9996-next-run-for-the-melbourne-boys/page/4/#findComment-110143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are after the twists then drive down to warburton past east warburton then onto the reefton spur. up lake mountain then back down to Marysville. Plenty of BBQ/Picnic options. There are BBQ's at the top of lake mountain and a good bakery in Marysville. I thought it was taken for granted that one would come back towards Melb via the black spur on this run hence haveing the best of all worlds. Possible meeting place Ringwood, Maccas nth croydon, lilydale. Ringwood might be the best for those who don't know this area because more people would recognise this name.

Guest gctaylor Guests Posted 10/04/04 11:27 AM Share Posted 10/04/04 11:27 AM :lol: Reefton Spur is a great run and provides good options on returning home.If , however, you want to go north then you could consider the run from Seymour to Yea and return to Melbourne via Kinglake.

BIG carpark at the top but we would prolly have to bring our own BBQ, but I'm sure that can be arranged! A very good mate of mine actually lives & works on Mt Baw Baw. I am sure that he would not have any issue hooking us up with a BBQ. Its a nice drive too. but would need to go soon, before weather gets to cold and chains are required though. Plenty of exciting roadsup that way though.

justind Member 90 Member For: 22y 1m 21d Location: Melbourne Posted 12/04/04 09:34 AM Share Posted 12/04/04 09:34 AM Got a friend who will be picking up his "T" next week and is eager to join the site and also come along for this cruise. I think it is time for someone to make some decisions about this. I am happy to go along with whatever the majority decides.
