We will know more when we get to Tumut tomorrow and I am planning to make the call based on advice from locals.

Looking forward to this! Just one more sleep!

Im out.

Epic man flu, I am so dissapointed as I spent heaps of $$ getting my big brakes on and set up at a well known suspension shop in Melbourne just for this cruise.

Excuse me while I go back to bed and die a slow and painful death.

Enjoying breakfast while waiting at the meet point for everyone to show up. Hopefully I've got the right McDonald's

I have made it home after finding my trans playing some funny behaviour after a bit of a blast from Gundagai to Tumut. Would not select 4th and was flaring a bit at unpredicted times. After Lunch, I decided not to head through the hills with the trans playing up.

Anyway some happy snaps from the meet point and the run down the highway to Gundagai.




Our positive thinking president. If I wear shorts, there is now way it can snow in the Snowy Muntains!





















Cheers
Stu

Good to hear you made it back Stu.

Thanks so much for letting me tag along guys, was great to meet everyone and the cruise was exceptional!!! I had a blast, the road over the mountains was clear and dry which made it all the more fun.

I'll keep my eyes open and hopefully I'll be able to attend another meet before I head back to WA.

Thanks again.

Glad you enjoyed it Graham. It is an awesome bit of road isn't it! You now have an idea why I get excited about this cruise every year.

I am sure you are welcome to join us for the Gundaroo Pizza run.

Cheers
Stu

Great pics Stu and glad you made it back to base without any further mishaps. Just to make you feel good, the cruise after Tumut was pretty uneventful, so you didn't miss much Ha Ha!

Apart from the freshly overturned wagon on the side on the road.

Must say, the scenery on the alpine sections is quite amazing. Quite eerie in some respects with the white trees. The road is awesome, a great surface and a great backdrop. Would love to go back sometime and take the camera.

Don't worry Stu. I proudly flew the AU flag. It was quite windy right at the back, several kilometers back.
