Victorian High Country Super Mega Cruise is GO!

Victorian High Country Super Mega Cruise is GO!

As per discussions in the other thread this is going ahead.
Details as follows:


Friday
Depart cooper st BP on friday afternoon/evening (Just off the hume hwy. will confirm time later)
Leave melb in the arvo/early evening for the 4 Hour drive to Harrietville. (people can have a choice to head up on the sat morning/arvo if they wish in a second group) It is essential that we top up with decent fuel before getting to Harrietville.



We will be spending 2 nights (friday and saturday) at marmot lodge. Details of the lodge can be found here http://www.stayz.com.au/25864
The place has 5 bedrooms with 22 beds (A mixture of double beds and bunks etc.) and 3 bathrooms.









Saturday
Do a 250k circuit with a couple stops along the way. Anyone arriving on the saturday can opt in or out of this one given they will have made the 350k drive up from melbourne. But they would need to get to Harrietville quite early.



After completing the circuit and returning to the lodge we can kick back and relax, have a meal and a drink or 6. The following facilities will be available for our use

• Games Room.
• Large Kitchen.
• Spacious Living Room.
• TV, DVD, Stereo.


Sunday
We can drive the epic great alpine road. Up Mt hotham towards omeo then home via Bairnsdale

Sunday night we pass out at home after the 1000 - 1200km round trip in 3 days.


The price for accomodation will be $77 including linen
Other than that be sure to have some cash available for 1200kms worth of petrol and food. This weekend can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be.


What I require from anyone interested in coming along is the following.


Send an email to tim@vr6.com.au expressing your interest
I will book your accomodation and reply with a request for a payment of the $77. (this is being paid for in advance so if youre unsure please do not mess us about)


There are limited positions available so its a case of first in best dressed im afraid. We are hoping for a group size of 15 - 20max just to keep things manageable.

Any questions just shoot.

I dont think the thread will be complete without a bit of a teaser

:burnrubber:

wow. If only I was in Melb!

wow indeed!

if any interstaters are hardcore enough to make the trek youre quite welcome

We already have around 10 people confirmed for this trip. Im hoping to have firm numbers by the first week of Jan so we can make final arrangements.
If youre interested in coming along on the most epic VW cruise ever then dont think about it too much longer. Places are limited.

epic!

:thumbsup:

x2....maybe x100

We still have room for a few more people if youre considering it but I need to confirm numbers by next friday so let me know ASAP

Its shaping up to be a great weekend! Really looking forward to it!

Hopefully Cazzle and I can get that weekend off. If so Ill P_M you Tim but not until next week. If your fully booked its not a prob, we can stay elsewhere no probs.

On the return trip Sunday I will be going thru Myrtleford, Whitfield, Mansfield, etc, IMO a better drive than the trip down to the Princess hwy. with some good roads over Tolmie way :wink:

Bazzle

There will be room the problem is that we need to confirm numbers a week in advance.

The way home can be up for discussion. Ive driven a lot of the roads but never that one that goes south. If there is a more interesting return journey to be had im sure we will be all ears

Its this weekend boys and girls! starting 4pm tomorrow!

Still not too late for anyone wanting to tag along!

This one has been run and one. Seriously was one of the best weekends ive ever had!

Roads were fantastic
Accomodation was fantastic
The company was fantastic
The beer was fantastic
The Chicken Parma was fantastic

There are a few photos posted already but without a doubt this will definately end up being another annual event.


a few pics are starting to get posted here

Some pics from the cruise.

My pants hurt.

That looks like the best cruise evar!

Being a New South Welshman I think we will have to retaliate with an even better one!

(no idea when though :biggrin

Well done Tim.
