Motels are pretty pricey, we ended up paying around $165 for the night.  :eek
There are cheaper options if you're happy to go Airbnb...
Here's one: (https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/17331703?source_impression_id=p3_1573523525_dEMuwZ0ZXwgX43Q2&check_in=2019-12-07&guests=1&adults=1&check_out=2019-12-08)

Only two and a half weeks away now, really looking fwd to catching up with friends, and meeting some new ones.
Have already ordered strawberrys for pickup the day before the meet.
(I get a special under-the-counter deal from the farm, as I maintain their computers)
Let me know if anyone else would like some, so I can add them to the list.

It's a darn shame that eggs were not more robust, and would travel safely... we pay only $5 for a tray of thirty here... free range, gate sale. 17 cents each beats the crap out of supermarket prices.

Just home from Tassie and catching-up with this thread, have a fair bit of updating to do.

I am seriously considering this one, but will stay overnight on Saturday. Anyone know of reasonable nearby accommodation?

How'd you go with this one Terry?  I haven't stayed overnight in the area for many, many years.  The last time was probably 40 years ago when a mate had the Shamrock Hotel in Kyneton.   For the budget concious, they have (had?) some pretty basic hotel and motel rooms, but not sure now.

Their website - https://www.kynetonshamrockhotel.com.au/our-story (https://www.kynetonshamrockhotel.com.au/our-story) - indicates a recent update, probable means a price review.

If St Helena is 'nearby' enough, there's a room for you (upstairs or downstairs) and space in the garage for an ST available here.

I think Rex lost a bet (why else would he wear a silly hat?):

Highlight of the day was was Kev Murphy being presented with his OzSTOC 2019 Member of the Year Award.

At around 1:00pm a few of use asked each other, "Where's Kev?"  I shouldn't take 7 hours from Portland to Malmsbury, a few 'phone calls went unanswered, but finally Kev answered Stroppy's call, he got stuck in Ballarat for a while and was only 30 minutes away.

Whew!!!  Good news!!!  Especially for those that rembered Kev's last two wheel RTE attempt.  For those that don't, there are approx. 2,000 posts about it.

Thanks for attending Kev, and THANKS for the STrawberries.  Oh, and thanks to everyone else too.

Home for us was around 5:00pm, after an hour stop at Keilor Retirement Village to visit me 96 year Mum.

Stand by for February 2020 RTE to Walhalla thread, it's on Saturday 8th, see yuse all, and others, then.

I've been at home.  I thought it would have been a bit of a stretch for me to make it by lunch time but the more I think about it it's not that much further than Smythesdale.  That said, I had a late shift last night.

Thanks Michael for another great lunch and good to meet some more new people.
Look forward to many more meetups in the future.

Very confused when I awoke today... wondering why the sun was so bright at such a late hour, until I realised it was 9am, not 9pm.

What a great afternoon & we couldn't have asked for better weather!
Both Sue & I thoroughly enjoyed catching up with those we'd previously met at the Noojee RTE and also getting to meet quite a few "newbies".

It was also great to meet our 2019 Member Of The Year...congrats, Kev!  :clap
Oh, and a very big thank-you for the lovely strawberries!
You'll be happy to know they made it home safely and Sue has already polished off most of them... :thumb

                             King Kev...

We stayed the night at a lovely B&B a few k's from Malmsbury and got to meet a lovely couple who were also staying there.

They proved invaluable later that night when I accidentally locked ourselves out of our room while dressed only in skimpy dressing gowns as we were heading off for a spa. With no way to contact the owners as our mobiles etc were locked safely in our room (they live off site) and not liking the thought of having to spend the night sleeping on a couch I volunteered Sue to knock on the other couples door to borrow a phone. They were very gracious and didn't laugh too much at us, well, not to our faces anyhow...lol.
Hopefully they weren't too traumatised...  :crackup

Thankfully we were able to contact the owners after a few attempts and they rushed to our aid.
They did say we weren't the first to lock ourselves out of the room so that did make me feel a little bit better and slightly less embarrassed...

I was just thankful we hadn't done a nudie run from the bedroom to the spa... :whistle

Reminds me of the story about the time way back in 1969 that we parachuted into Glen Eden Sun Club nudist colony, about 20 Km north west from the
airstrip at Lake Elsinore in California. We wore parachutes and sandshoes, and had to wait most of the afternoon for our pilot to drive up with our clothes.

There was more than enough trauma without having to relive it over and over through pics...  :crackup :butt
