Change my maybe to a definitely. I noticed annual leave for that week was fully booked but friday had fewer names than the other days so put in an application for friday. It got approved so I'm in. Now to arrange some accommodation.
Good skills. :thumbs

Staying in Hamilton friday and saturday night.
Would stay at the Grand Central Hotel back in my early VicRoads' days, really good feed, okay rooms. But that was 40 years ago, 'spose it's changed.

With Sue spending the day doing some sister bonding @ Mornington Peninsula Hot Springs I was half considering attending this RTE...but, after looking at the menu (http://tinyurl.com/yp25a7ut) I'm now not so sure... :eek
Cheapest meal is $32 for a salad and if you want chicken with it it's another $12 on top of that!!! :crazy
Yes, in case you didn't know it before, I'm cheap... :rofl

Nothing is cheap these days, Michael! :eek
I'm still traumatised from the prices being charged at a fish & chippery in Cottesloe, WA...$4.10 for a potato cake and, I think, $4.00 for a dim sim! :eek

Burger Road...
.... is the older two grandson choice now that Johnny Pumps (specialised in burgers and shakes) has closed. Helen and I have taken them there a coupla times.
Edward and Patrick both liked there thick shakes. Helen and I aren't too keen on the prices, but it's only once a year, although now with seven grandkids, it's gunna get expensive.
Post by: ruSTynutz on January 18, 2024, 08:07:44 PM
You should have asked for a potato scallop then.
I didn't buy any...not at that price anyhow! I was just looking at their menu...they had potato cakes & scallops listed though...
Just to compare, a dim sim or potato cake at our local fish & chip shop costs around $1.20-1.30.

I've never heard of Johnny Pumps either...Seems I need to get out more! :rofl
I must admit I'm not really a fan of "plastic" burgers. Hate Maccas and not a huge fan of Hungry Jacks either although their Aussie Burger (since discontinued) was semi okay.
I much rather a burger from a fish & chip shop although a burger with the lot nowadays isn't actually with the lot...you have to pay extra for what was once included.
Geez, I think I've turned into a grumpy old man! :whistle :crackup

>then to the RTE via to the GOR from Abbotsford to Lorne, and return to Hamilton via Colac.
Allow plenty of time for your travel along the GOR as it can be a slow run with all the tourists gawking at the views and not watching where they are driving.
If you want to avoid much of that, I can recommend turning off at Skenes Creek instead of Lorne and heading to Birregurra via Forrest...

I'm planning to go to Hamilton via the Southern Ports Highway and Carpenter Rocks, then to the RTE via to the GOR from Abbotsford to Lorne, and return to Hamilton via Colac. The return to Adelaide will be the reverse course I took to Harrow in 2018 (via Francis and Bordertown).
Anyone's welcome to tag along. :crackup
Not sure about Abbotsford, do you mean Allansford?

Yeah, plenty of tourists and rubber necks, but in my view, GOR to Lorne is still a good choice.

Actually sounds like a plan as I have never ridden that road whereas the Lorne one I have.

Yes, 11 (a smallish group for VIC) braved the lovely weather, top food, humungous serves, excellent service. Might have to put this one on the destination recycle list, despite the pricey menu. This because some of the serves could've fed two - neither Marcus or I could completely finish our pork schnitzels, some coleslaw and chips were left-over.
Anyways, thank to all, particularly Bodo (riding from Adelaide) for attending, see yuse all (except BMW Doug- he's dog sitting that weekend) in less than three weeks - at Mansfield.
