VIC - Cruise and Photoshoot - August

[jay.ritchie]

Hard to go past Sugarloaf Reservoir (south off Eltham Road C726) as a good spot for a photo shoot. Plenty of car parking on the south side of the dam wall and good light from 10am to 2pm this time of year. Good spot for a sausage sizzle if anyone can drag the bbq out. Bit a bread, snags, onions, grated cheese, sauce and would make for a great meet and peek (under the bonnets Cruisn and Bosco!!!) Alternative eating at Yarra Glen/Healsville or make it an interesting day and plan a drive route to or from here. Myself, for a pre-photo shoot cruise, I like the Warrandyte to Kinglake, across to Toolangi and down the Healsville, then finish up here by mid/late morning. I would start early from the nearest Maccas (morning coffee), say 8am on the road.

You can find photos taken in the Sugarloaf car park here:

Hey thats the Melbourne crew cruise route! We do it weekly, you should come along with us sometime!
The St Andrews pub before king lake has a good parma too.

+1 to this. Epic roads for those who haven't done it. And the reservoir provides for a nice lake back dropped photo.

I can't attend the Aug-24th, will be busy preparing for an MG event the next day.
Just for your interest, that event is a club hillclimb at Rob Roy, on Sunday Aug-25.
It's 10 minutes from Sugarloaf Reservoir, so you could easily pop over for a look if you cruised on Sunday
(There's no spectator entry fee for club events.)

Good weather forecast for this Saturday, 27th July too! 16 degrees and sunny with mild winds. Good for cruising and photo shoot!
