Those staying overnight will need to book their own accommodation, rooms available on-site, at the YHA or at plenty of other places at the Bay.
Neil & Val, Nigel and I stayed at the YHA earlier this year, excellent rooms, clean and tidy, and relatively little $$, ie. cheap but NOT nasty.
We also ate at the brewhouse, excellent meal, and the drink range is extensive, I don't remember how many dark ales were consumed.

Re. Group pic for the RTE, as we are staying in various venues, I suggest we all meet on the Great Ocean Road opposite the Brewhouse on the Sunday morning at 9:00am. Let's hope the parking area opposite, is free.
Good luck with getting us there at that early time, Michael! :nahnah
I reckon Sue & I will be just crawling out of bed by then...and, from what your lovely wife said the other day, you might be going there on your own! :whistle

Unfortunately, we’re out. I’ve had Covid and am technically out of isolation, but am still coughing my lungs up due to asthma so we think it safest not to come.You move to the big smoke and look what happens, hope you feel better soon

The problem isn’t so much moving to the big smoke as it feels like northern Antarctica at the moment….Unfortunately, we’re out.

Big mistake doing the Great Ocean Road back to get the Ferry across to Sorento.
I knew it would be slow but some of the traffic I got stuck behind made it really painful!
40-45kmh in a 80 zone was ridiculous...And yes, I could have done what a few Harley riders did and just flew past ignoring the
solid white line but being the law-abiding person that I am, I just sat back and bitched and moaned! lol.
Anyhow, I timed it perfectly with the Ferry so no long wait there, just long enough to bolt to the loo before loading commenced. :runyay
Thankfully it was smooth sailing so I was able to leave the bike and wander upstairs for a bite to eat and a much-needed drink.
I'll probably get around to posting up a few pics later although pics of the actual rte dinner are a bit scarce as I got a bit distracted... :||||

Mmmm ..... could've been Helen and me in Helen's new Kia Sportage GT-Line Diesel. Cruising along the GOR, achieving around 5.1litres per 100km, much better economy than the ST1300.

I'd love to blame you but I left before you guys did so it's highly unlikely! :p
As for Helen's Sportage, I've been trying my hardest to convince Sue of the need to get one... :X

As for Helen's Sportage, I've been trying my hardest to convince Sue of the need to get one.
It's a very nice overall package, despite a couple of quite annoying little qwirks, and worth the almost 12 month wait. If you want one this year, order it ASAP.
Post by: ruSTynutz on May 01, 2023, 02:19:07 PM
What are the annoying quirks? "Lane Assist" would be one, I'd imagine...
Oh, just a heads up...did you know when it comes to replacing tyres on it you'll need to replace all four at the same time?

Unlikely to be this year, Michael, probably won't be until Sue retires... :'(

Went down to the Bakery and got a cuppa and an egg/bacon roll.
Quite good too.
Good run back along the GOR until Angelsea. Bit heavy but moving well.
Bit slow into Geelong all 80k if you could do it.
Got to the Maltby bypass and ground to a halt.
Left lane got me onto the RR, and home, a sweet run it was.
Nice to catch up with all see youse at Mansfield. :thumb

What are the annoying quirks? "Lane Assist" would be one, I'd imagine.
There's a button you press for approx. 3 secs to turn off lane assist, each time the ignition is switched on.
Quirk no. 1 - you can only have the radio / media options OR the heating a/c options at one time. To switch between these modes there's an icon on the touch screen dash.
Quirk no. 2 - the touch screen icons are very sensitive and it's very easy, even on a smooth road with vehicle movement, to touch the wrong icon and make a wrong selection.
Oh, just a heads up...did you know when it comes to replacing tyres on it you'll need to replace all four at the same time?
Didn't know about that. Do you know why?
All or none.
Generally the same here, but why all four at the same time with the Kia and Territory?
Post by: Nigel on May 01, 2023, 05:34:09 PM
Mine have to be the same make/size and effectively wearing at the same rate.
