Sorry Bruce, unable to attend this trip we'd 'double booked' ourselves. We hope that you have a great day out.

This trip is still on.
Should be a cruisy sort of trip visiting the afore mentioned historic sites, but covering a fair few K's.
I think my previous estimates for the "no fuel" zone were a little lean.
Distances are more likely to be, Moe - Warburton 185K & Moe - Healesville 200K.
Could I please have an indication of who may be interested.
