Easter/ANZAC cruise - Monday April-25

The date has been set for Monday April 25, which is ANZAC Day.
(Techically. it is Easter Monday, and the ANZAC Day holiday is on Tuesday April 26)
As usual, we need to make a fairly early start to avoid striking other traffic before we get out of Melbourne.

Still to be discussed:
  • Start time. I've suggested 8:00, for an 8:30 departure.
  • Stop points. I've put a loo/coffee break at Noojee, then photo stops at Mt Baw Baw and Blue Rock Lake
  • Lunch. Do we want to organise a group lunch in or around Moe?

Route: Lilydale - Noojee - Mt Baw Baw - Willow Grove - Moe - Eumemmerring
http://goo.gl/maps/Khq3 4 hours 21 minutes. 297 km
Starting from the McDonalds next to Lilydale Subaru, and finishing up in Moe.
Mt Baw Baw park brochure
(Then make your own way home back along the M1. I've included that leg in the total distance.)


Open in Google maps

  • 08:00 Meet up in the McDonalds carpark - grab a wakeup coffee
  • 08:30 Leave Lilydale
  • 09:45 Coffee/toilet break in Noojee
  • 10:45 Arrive at Mt Baw Baw
  • 10:45 - 11:15 Photoshoot, sightseeing etc at Baw Baw
  • 12:30 Stop at Blue Rock Lake carpark

If my car is ready i'll come along and say hi fingers crossed, but to be honest i highly doubt it :(

Sounds like a great drive, as they are some very nice roads there.

I'm sure a few guys wouldn't mind having a passenger/navigator/radio operator along...

You horrible people!

I'm going to Creamfields on that day so I'll most likely have to give it a miss. If for whatever reason I don't end up going, I'll def come.
