Road cruise? Great ocean vs Black spur

Post by Kustomchris » Sat Apr 13, 2013 8:54 am

Just thought I'd put the feelers out there to see if thered be many guys interested in a subi cruise either along the Great Ocean rd down past geelong there. Or do a drive Up the black spur from Healesville to the Cathedral ranges via the most windy and fun tracks that can be figured out.

The idea would be to meet up and do a slow cruise through either drive with someone to shoot off ahead and snap pics along the way. Stop once or twice along the way then at the other end guys can go their own way and do the tourist thing with kids or head to the local.
Both drives have pros and cons, with the Black spur I reckon thered be afew interested in going further to explore Lake Eildon as it has some fantastic dirt roads and offroad tracks. While the Great Ocean road is one of australias most iconic drives with some great fishing spots and beaches along the way.

What do we reckon?

Yeah ive driven both and although the GO road is a little ways out its one of the best drives in australia.

Would be a good bit of fun playing in the hills around the spur too and even make a trek across to Toolangi national park followed with some camping out there even.

If circumstances allow, I'd be in for the Black Spur followed by a cruise on some dirt tracks :cool:

Might be a cool idea to organise them for when winter is over then.
I love the idea of both and forgot that the otway ranges are only down the road from the GOR.

Ill likely get out exploring the spur this winter too, thinking of which it might be a cool idea to get up to the snow behind marysville during winter.
