yes:mad: 21 Feb.

that's what cut and paste can do really well. grrrr.



but it is "Rylie's Run Back Through Time" too? :p

My mother and I will be there.
Looks like an early start for us, but we can't complain as we had our chance to sleep in on last month's cruise.

Hey, will be good to see you both there.
The reason for the 9:00 am start is to have some time to look through the museum and indulge in socialising at morning tea.
"Willy to Wye" it seemed everyone was enjoying the view and the location which was cut short after lunch.

Last call for RSVP's please people. Turning up at a Pub in a group means long waiting times if we haven't advised numbers ahead of arrival.

AMAZING!!!!
Great cruise and an incredible eclectic blend of experiences.
It really was like a "Run Back Through Time".
Thanks Rylie, Deb, Robyne and Logan for a really top day.
Pics up soon and hoping they give everyone who missed out, a clue to what we did today.

What a fantastic Cruise.

A great range of BMWs including 2 E30 3 series, 2 E36 3 series, X5, E46 M3 convertible and an E66 7 series with their passengers started out from Knoxfield and travelled up through the Dandenongs to a photo oportunity at a lookout at the back of Mt Dandenong, see photos below.

The convoy then travelled back in time to the historic homestead of Mont De Lancey for morning tea and a tour of the museum, homestead, church, blacksmith and woodturning shops. The display in the museum was certainly one of the better displays I have seen considering it is essentially put together and run by volunteers.

Moving on again we travelled through the back of the Dandenongs through the towns of Monbulk, Belgrave, Emerald, Cockatoo, Gembrook and arrived at the Pine Grove Hotel at Upper Beconsfield for lunch, where we soaked up the atmosphere with some live music. The roads were great driving roads and with an all American Car Display at Gembrook, we certainly met some nice eye candy on the way, even if it was of the American variety.

My mother and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Rylie and his family in organising such a great cruise and hope that he will offer to do another one in the near future. What a pity more members did not get involved in such a great trip.
