I wished someone got a pic of your coolant reservior that moment!FiftyOne - hope you can make it mate. The roads are good and Omeo has fantastic steaks if you're a carnivore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that they only have 4 rooms. I've already booked one.Omeo Colonial Accommodation - Sat 22 Marwww.omeocolonialomeo.com.au/159 Day Ave, Omeo VIC 3898(03) 5159 1388Motel rooms $95 per night.Available rooms left are:2 rooms have queen and roll-in trundle bed1 room has queenSo be quick to book in - just quote FordXR6Turbo to get the quoted price. I've put a tentative hold on those rooms for us - but they'll only hold until someone else wants it (I should get a call beforehand though) and we all need to have our rooms booked in min 1 week beforehand.\Dinner still at the Golden Age - just that I couldn't book accomodation there because they had a wedding on (reception is being held elsewhere).

For anyone that isn't aware of what I'm talking about... Click here. Great roads, great people and some nice photos of your car. What more could people ask for? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the accommodation will rule this a small group regardless of interest.Is there no other options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
