TE278U Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Hi guys, Ausrotary and Ozdat are organising a cruise to Marysville this weekend, sorry about the late notice. Rollaclubbers have been invited to join in, so spread the word please. I want to get as many rolla's there as possible. Lets show off some of our sweet Jap tin and have a good one. :D Starts in Bayswater BUNNINGS carpark (CANTERBURY RD) at 10am. leaving at 1030am sharp. PLEASE RESPECT THAT WE ARE VISITORS ON THEIR CRUISE. NO ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR OR HOONING PLEASE. Please post to let me know you are coming. any trouble finding the place, call me 0422 328 332. -Dave copied from Ausrotary: Before the 2009 bushfires, Marysville was a popular destination for car cruises. It is a beautiful location with some great photo opps, and the drive includes the Black Spur which is a great bit of road. Since the fires, redevelopment has been slow, and many tourists have stayed away because they didn’t want to get in the way. I contacted a Marysville community email address asking whether they would be keen for us to come to town and got a couple of very quick and enthusiastic replies which I have added to the end of this post. So who would be interested in a cruise from Bunnings in Bayswater via Coldstream on the way there and Yarra Glen on the way back, to Healesville for a fuel stop, then over the Black spur to Marysville? I would encourage you to buy lunch in town at the bakery or café, then meet at Gallipoli Park (the footy ground) for lunch. Christine Adams, the president of the local tourism association is keen to have a chat to us as a group about what has happened since the fires so it would be educational too. Spending money in the town is the best way to help the recovery process. NOTE - There is a footy match on at Gallipoli Park on Sunday. We may be asked for a gold coin donation for entry. Date is Sunday 27th March - my 8 year old son virtually begged me to organise this one. If you are interested let me know. Ausrotary Attending: 1. isszy 2. DrWankel 3. green200b 4.

dfunkt Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 sunday's between 9am and 1pm are booked out until easter for me.....but it's all worth it come easter :D Quote
BReNt Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 Damn wish I knew about this earlier. I'm not gunna be able to make it but anyone who is free Sunday definitely should try and get to this. The last Ausrotary/ozdat cruise I went on was well worth it with a massive turnout of small old jap cars with crazy engines. Quote

KEhendo Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 hmm, can't miss the gp. will probably make an effort to come to the first meet to say hi and show my face but then it's home for an afternoon of couch sitting and gp watching. Quote
