this will be the third day out I've organised for summer. I'm hoping to get up a day out for as many members as possible,so its Victoria wide this time. the last two meets were organised for the Christmas holiday period and that's probably not the best time for most people. if anyones interested this time I'm hoping to have it sometime in the new year. summer goes right up till the start of march. [usually]  any ideas guys/gals.  :razz:

Walhalla is very picturesque, and it has a great road in and out of the place....
Worth driving up to the Thompson dam too....especially now it's got a bit more water in it... :)

planes are alright... i dont like them still, but my car cant get to melbourne in 3 hours... a bonus is you dont find freaks on them like you do when you ride the train...

i used the train between 'the valley' and 'central' last weekend... the bloke in the seat across from me looked like he wanted to kill everyone in the carrage... and the bloke in front of me was talking UBER LOUD on his phone... the woman behind looked like she had too much to drink and was going to vomit! and some random guy was trying to help/rape her.
