Hi All

I have never been on a "car cruise" before but reading all the material they sound like fun. I have great difficulty in getting away overnight (on call usually) so was wondering if anyone would be interested in a day only cruise? A have a tentative date and itinary but this is flexible depending on interest.

Sunday 5/9/04 - family steam train southern highlands cruise

(Note: this is the first Sunday of the month so the Markets in Berry are operating - I have not included this but could be included if we start early and skip Kiama)

8.30 - 9 AM

Meet somewhere in Wollongong (I am from Wollongong) ? McDonalds Breakfast

10.00AM

Kiama - Picnic Morning Tea at the lighthouse or nearby park (Kids can play around for a while)

12.00 Bowral - Lunch (We could book a restaurant in advance if we know numbers)

1.45 Thirlmere - Return Steam Train Ride to Picton departs at 2.10pm ($9 Adults, $4.50 Seniors, $2.50 Children, Under 5 Free, $20.50 Family = 2A+3C). Train trip is about 75minutes total so we should be back at Thirlmere at 3.30

After this time - suggestions welcome

Edit - 3/8/04 @ 3.10pm

Good Response - 22 so far (not including partners, kids and hanger ons)

Cruise ya say.....Count me in...

The last three NSW Cruises have been overnighters, so we should get back to a "one-dayer" right about now.

Mind you, if we are going to be hitting the Southern Highlands...

"Macquarie Pass -> Kangaroo Valley -> Berry Rd" anyone???

Sounds good to me.

I've still got the maps I put together for the first one I did way back in August 2003.

Can dig them up again if needed.

I'd love to go, but not on Sept 5th as I'm in Melbourne for that weekend :(

Steam Train you say.. How does that involve driving down/up mountainous twisty roads? :lol: 5/09 should be good for me, wife & kids will be O/S.

Sounds like a good day. Great part of the world count me in.

What he said!

a day one sounds good, so does the location - so pencil me in as well.
