[Hendo]

OK Guys,

Just booked a site at the park, please add my name to the list of attendees.

Has anyone thought about routes from the greater Melbourne area, I had a qiuck look on google maps and can go either: Distances from Ring Road Laverton North

Glenelg Highway ( Ballarat , Skipton, Dunkeld & Hamilton 402 km),
Hamilton Highway (Geelong, Mortlake, Penhurst 413 km),
Princess Highway  (Geelong, Colac, Warrnambool 408km)

Im thinking one of these routes to and a different one back. Let me know what you think..

I am also thinking about doing a tour of Princess Margaret Rose cave ( http://www.princessmargaretrosecave.com/index.html ) on the Sunday Morning (10am) before returning home. If anyone interested in joining me, please let me know and I might be able to prebook as a group and save $4 on admission each. It is definately worth seeing if you havent seen it before.

Cheers,

Hendo

If so what time would you like me there?

I prefer the inland route, and will go to Keith, and then through Naracoorte and Penola.

Hi Hendo.  Please add me to your list for a tour of the caves on Sunday
Cheers. RICHO

[Les Pearce]

Pete,  what time do you anticipate getting back to Adelaide on the Sunday?
 

[StinkyPete]

Pete,  what time do you anticipate getting back to Adelaide on the Sunday?
 

Les, I'm guessing now, but if we leave after the caves tour, it's about 460km or a conservative 5.5 hours back to Adelaide, so we'be looking at around 1730 hrs back home.   If you weren't going to do the cave tour and left Nelson at 0930, you could expect to be home by 1500hrs.  Fish and I plan on visiting the caves.

[Les Pearce]

Ok,  that's fine.  I will ride back with you guys.  Won't do the cave tour as done it before,  so I will just meet you somewhere.  Will discuss on the sat.

[Pete]

Hendo, Please at add me to your list to do the cave tour.

[NandV]

Hi Hendo
Two more for the caves tour if possible on Sunday.
Cheers
Neil & Valerie

Ladies and Gents,

Have booked the tour of the caves this morning.

The Min. booking was 10 which we have, if anyone else is interested it is fine to increase the booking. The caves from memory are just normal walking with a staircase down, no squeezing through tight passages or anything like that.

Regards,

Hendo

[StinkyPete]

Ladies and Gents,
.....no squeezing through tight passages or anything like that.

Oh well.   I'm happy to go anyway.   

[Marcus]

Nice weather
