Plan is to shoot down the Highway on the Friday and stay at the RTE Hotel on Friday and on Saturday morning maybe skip over to Whitfield and back in time for the RTE Lunch on Saturday. Stay Saturday night and up the m31 back home on the Sunday. I would prefer to go through the Alps but chance of snow n ice at that time of year puts me off that route. We have already had snow in our streets - last weekend!
Look forward to catching up with you Bad Boys n Gals!

We're at the High County Holiday Park, others too I think. https://goo.gl/maps/2UoZ5zAsemkFFQef6 Undercover parking with some cabins.
Or perhaps others the pub.

If the weather is absolutely foul, a nice warm SUV might be our mode of transport too. I was looking forward to our first outing of the new ST1300, but I think Helen will have a say in it.

Looking a bit tidier than when inspected pre-purchase, and when Russ took it for a test ride. We had discussed how poorly the seller presented it for sale, knew it would scrub-up, and it's nearly there.

As we're just going for the day it will be a nice warm car for us too (regardless of the weather) as Sue can't handle 500 plus k's on the back of the mighty ST... :-[

High Country Holiday Park and Mansfield overall ticks all of the boxes. Helen and I had a nice modern, motel style cabin with under cover parking for a smidge over $130, short walk to the pubs, great meal at the Delatite (we've had a good meal on an RTE to the Mansfield hotel previously). Rooms at the Delatite for around $75 per head.
Thanks to all for attending, especially Wendy (for 1st VIC RTE), and Johnny (who snuck into our State) and STroppy (likewise) - another border security fail.
Some pics to be posted, by me and others, later.

A big thanks to all that attended, especially those from interstate... :clap
And more thanks must go to Michael for organising yet another successful RTE. :beer

Now with Mansfield RTE done & dusted, standby for details on the June RTE - looks like it'll be at the Courthouse Hotel at Ararat - coming soon.
In the meantime, the Delatite Hotel and the High Country Holiday Park are both recommended destinations. Food at the Delatite is very good, the service even better. Standard of accommodation at the High Country very good, make sure you book a cabin with a carport.
Coffee at Yea very good (if you go the Just Great Coffee shop) met a nice bloke, Leo whilst having the coffee, lives outta town, down Upper Ti Tree Road. An interesting and spritely 85 yo who told us about a Brumby he captured and trained best horse ever, there's a painting of the horse at the Australian War Memorial at Canberra, used for some exhibit.
