Ok people, here's the deal for this trip.
Meet at the BP servo cnr Princes Hwy and Sand Rd Longwarry North at 8.30am for 8.45 departure.
Lunch stop will be at site of the old mining town of Jericho.
On return via the Warburton - Woods Point road, there will be the option of taking either the Warburton Rd or Marysville Rd from Cumberland Junction, which ever is the most convenient for you.
Next fuel after Moe is roughly 160Km to Warburton and 175Km to Healesville.

What to bring:- Picnic lunch.

Bruce.

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

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.

Bruce.
