Yesterday the Victoria members of the Aus300zx forums enjoyed a massive cruise event spanning 500kms. So i thought id share the cruise photos i took from yesterday. The cruise got a record 35+ zeds and a couple of none zed participants which was a site to see for a zedder whos never seen this before.

Basically the cruise travellers along a long stretch of road on the west coast of Victoria and follows the curves of the coastline creating alot of twisty roads, which alot of the vic members seem to enjoy driving through and the view from these roads of the coastline is specatluar.

 

Anwyas the meeting point started close to the city of Melbourne, in victoria and from their we droive along a 4 lane hwy to the first stopping point. Having 35+ zeds zipping through traffic on the hwy was amazing and heaps of fun.

 

 

 

 

 

By now we had reached the first stopping point in Torquy, a little coastal town. We stayed here for a bit and stretchout our legs as we had done about an hours drove from the city.

 

 

 

3rd stop of the day was at Apollo Bay another small coastal town. By this time we had driven all along the Great Ocean Road sry i didnt get any pix as the twisting roads require abit of concentration to navigate through safely.

 

 

From Apollo bay we headed to what the cruise organises said was a special surprise normally wasnt allowed to the public to entry.

 

Basically it was a site seeing Helicopter Toruist port where we lined all the zeds up and had the copters fly into the backdrop of the zedfest we had created. In addition members were offewr discounted helicopter flights which a few of them took.

 

 

 

 

As this we finally got some lunch at around 3 oclock in the afternoon. And then headed home. Was a massive day and very tiring.

wow nice meet and you have nice roads no pot holes, some nice cars there.

That would have been some drive......35+ zeds in one place at one time!!!!

Seriously though, what some stunning photos.........brings back memories of my trip to Oz a few years ago, you lucky beggars with all that sunshine!! Just perfect weather for our Zeds with the targa's off. Although I can't say I notice any off in your photos....probably making best use of the a/c.

What's weird and freaky about Adelaide? I spent a month travelling around Oz and thought Adelaide was the town I would like to live if I emigrated down there.

Some cracking photo's there. Looked like a really good day out.

 

Austrailian V-Power must be a hell of a lot cheaper than it is over here.

 

500K cruise :shock: That would cost us about $170 Aus dollars. LOL

 

We're jealous!!!

Great pics and is that some of Smithys bling I see on the fuse box cover

It costs about $1.50 AUD per litre so about $90 to fill the tank. My NA was able to do the whole cruise on one tank, about 550km and the empty light just came on.

It didn`t help that i got stuck there cos of my reg`o needing renewing and turned up smack bang in the middle of a born again christian festival,bloody cliff richards everywhere..and it was winter..nowt to do but listen to reworked songs of the day with holy lyrics..should have guessed..stayed at mission beach!! Cairns was my settling place..love the tropics!
