Should we lock it in? We need to make a decision so that things can be planned/booked.

200K of windy roads for me 3 Hrs. 10 mins. an average speed of 63KPH :shakehead doesn't sound too inviting.

Might suit other members, it's difficult when people are so spread out :shrug:.
I don't think I'd make that meet. :candle:

A Cook's tour of the bushfire-affected country. You'd be all depressed when you got there.

There are quite a lot of burnt areas along the Hume too Bruce.
Still minding Jim for you .

A waterfall somewhere?

Lal Lal Falls would be a brilliant locale, bit far though.

That road is a magnificent drive! I'm jealous that I don't get to go that way.

If you're averaging 63, you're going too slow!

We need something closer to Melbourne Guys

My vote is for Westerfolds Park, it's a BIG park and it's pretty easy to get to...
About 20 minutes off the Eastern Freeway on the Bulleen Road Offramp with a high hilly position....

Quality dark is hard to find around Melbourne these days with the light pollution but this is the best large space I can think of with 24 hour access and there's Templestowe Road Shops there too...

and park Guide

Wattle Park wasn't that bad either and it was in Camberwell... looked pretty deserted and I remember someone brought Mac's 'Torch' and it could stretch it's legs there, close to Camberwell Junction/Box Hill too so we can do dinner there and then drive to the park.


Suggestions ?

Re: Victoria, Australia - Do you want to get together?

Hmmm, maybe I can drive down or fly down?

I'll have my DEFT by then. I also have a Modamag Tk Monster and an Arc mania X6. Those are my most interesting torches :devil:

I think I have holidays from Dec 14-Jan 14, so hopefully it will be sometime then

BRING THE DEFT!! I want to see this monster in action! LOL

I do prefer this as camping or staying overnight may not be everyone's cup of tea. Closer to Melbourne is also good for me.

We won't be able to accomodate everyone in terms of time and location. Can we do a vote of some sort we we can track the numbers to see the majority count?

What about Jell's park in Wheelers Hill?
