Mt Donna Buang cruise

[Ric]

Early arrivers parked outside the Beechworth Bakery


having breakfast inside


oops, I couldn't tell this was a gravel road on Google "Street view"








Snow!


Tha last section of road to the summit was closed due to the snow, so we had to walk 200 metres.










The carpark just below the summit








Parked in Marysville






Back at Healesville

I'm sorry Ric but I have to ask, are you some sort of mutated freak?

I am still amazed at how you manage to drive so.....*ahem* agile and still be able to call for oncoming cars without a handsfree.
But to take photos during the driving.....Surely you hired a midget to hide under your passenger seat or something???

Nice photos.
I like how you ended with my HID's, great selling point for anyone who wants them

[Ric]

My SLR doesn't have "live view" either, so you can't use the LCD to frame the shots. You've either got to look through the viewfinder (not an option when you're driving), or do what I did, guess, and take lots of photos so you can throw away the ones that didn't work.

[Kekotic]

Well you definitely took pretty good guesses then

Sidenote: in the pic of my car, passenger side LED parker is bluer than drivers side, this is how much of a testbed my car is for lights, I'm running two slightly slightly different types which in person isn't noticeable, but in the photos it really shows up.
I'll be getting more parkers soon that are even brighter and whiter than the drivers side

I really wish I had taken some more photos of the cruise now, but oh well too little too late.

Ric, Good photos.

Guys, imagine what he could have done if Marg (his wife) was in the front passenger seat!

[Arith]

Great pics Ric! Didn't realise you could get snow down there! But man, that is one dirty cruise! *shudder*

[Ric]

Most of the guys wimped out of the hike up to the summit, but the girls thought it was worthwhile to find a clean loo!

[teK--]

Yeah I didn't know Gen4s came in brown

Great effort with the point and shoots Ric!

Ric, us real men stayed in the car park to watch the locals do doughnuts in their utes for 15 minutes.
Hope you had fun standing on top of the tower looking at that nice fog!

[hamish_023]

Any more photos?

[MH3.0R]

Very nice, glad all went well.
Any more photos?

Yeah Hamish, I took some photos in the car park, but my camera didn't! Must have had either fog or water on the lens.

Or fog on the brain??

Maannn , i thought it was snowy down black burn rd in monash sat morning going to work. Nearly wrote off the work car
Looked like an interesting cruise, couldnt make this one, had to push bike 108 k's round the bay, so hopefully next cruise will be on soon, before it hits 40 though so us turbo boys can still
get some power out of the flat 4.
take care all...
