I've done an estimate of the round trip from Geelong and back to Geelong, and it's about 280km. I've been getting about 360km per tank around Melbourne, so we ought to be okay to fill up in Geelong and complete the round trip.

Thanks for organising the cruise Gary!

All the slow bumper to bumper highway driving was a bitch to much for me.

Once we hit the twisties I had to jump ahead - My girlfriend wasnt comfortable sitting behind the lead car as we dont really know how most of you guys drive.

We went all the way to Apollo and got ourselves an icecream. We saw you guys drive through about 30 mins after we arrived.. (We were waiting at Georges)

But alas you guys must have kept going (pretty hard to find a spot to park in Apollo Bay).. It was all good though as we headed off to Lorne and back through to Melbourne down the rest of the GoR.

I took a couple of pics - will post em tomorrow.

Thanks anyhow for organising the day.

Cheers,

Bain
