I should be good for this. Hopefully with an alternator that works and a radiator mounted in the rear.

Joey used to use black spur to Marysville area,
because it never had any seasonal closures.
Of course that may have changed by now.

Excellent news marty. We need a car and driver with your skills at the front of the convoy to show us the way.

Ok - been on the phone with Parks Vic and DSE.

Parks VIC - only look after National Park
DSE - only look after State Park

I couldnt find the DSE closures list, but did find FWDVic - which - sadly - lists the tracks i wanted to drive as closed:

Interestingly, Ellis is again not listed there.

So - Warburton is out :(

Maybe we should be speaking to FWDV and find out why Ellis track is not listed?

Chris L tells me that toolangi is too easy.

Might have to change this to a twilight drive to up the ante a bit.

I actually meant too easy for your hard trip.
It is perfect for a medium trip,
but I bet the gates are closed already.

Should we just re-rate this trip as easy-medium?

i'm getting the impression that easy-med is where all the interest is at.

And grumpy-leondard is indicating that once we have track closures in place, we wont be getting a lot of hard stuff worth driving.

Or should we stay medium, and switch over to a night drive (makes easy tracks just a little bit harder).

thoughts?
