Ok guys not much of an interest here. So I will post it up. I'm going to come along so is Cougar-Boy and Raymond81.

We will be meeting at the carpark of Shell Service Station Westbound (the one that goes towards Geelong no the city) at 9:30 for a departure of 10am SHARP!



We will go to the Ford Discovery Center which is at:

Corner of Gheringhap and Brougham Streets Geelong, Victoria

Melways reference 401 G2

Entry: Adults $7, Concession $4.50, Child $3, Family $18

Then we can go and find somewhere to have lunch in Geelong or if we want to keep going further we can. Up to you guys. Don't forget to bring a clean car and CB radio so we can keep in contact with everyone.

So add your name on the list if you want to come and will be looking forward to see you guys there.

Ok guys. Sunday is rocking around very quickly, does anyone recommend anywhere to eat because I don't really think Smorgies would be good. I'm up for ideas. Ray I know you go down there a fair bit, so just let me know.
