    Hmmmm.... mothers day....

    If I'm right...... May 7 is Mothers Day....... which means between having a day with my wife, my mum and mother in law, I dont think I'll be cruising on that day...... even if I have the zed back from the painters by then..

    Looks like I'm out guys...:(

    Yeah. Mother's day is the 8th. If you wanna give her an early present, take her on the cruise :D.

    I drove the route yesterday - a mate from South Australia is visiting so I had to show 'em what our roads are all about. The route looks good. No closures. I though there might've been some road works East of Inverloch because of the flooding earlier this year but all is well.

    I will post it up tonight. Basically, the route is this:

    Starting point Packenham
    • South Gippsland / Bass Highway to Inverloch - A relatively sedate drive until you get past the Phillip Island turnoff. (about 1 hour drive)
    • Lunch at Inverloch. Check out the beach, town etc. 1 - 2 hours
    • Inverloch-Venus Bay road (C442) to just north of Tarwin Lower road 20 minutes
    • Hang a left on to Lower Tarwin Road - There are some really fun twisties and bends on this road. 40 minutes
    • Head north on the South Gippsland Highway where there are some FANTASTIC twisties to Leongatha. 40 minutes
    • Then we take the Strzelecki Hwy all the way to Morwell. For anyone who has never driven this road, check it out on a map. It looks like a 3 year old drew it. Lots and lots of twisty stuff all at 100km/h speed limits and through some great bushland. 1 hour.
    • Stop at Morwell to have a coffee and talk about how AWESOME that road was. 1 hour
    • Sedate drive on Princes freeway back to Packenham. You can continue on from there to anywhere in Melbourne or if you're staying in Inverloch / Venus Bay, it's less than 1 hour away! 1 hour.

    One big happy loop!!

    I'll use google maps to draw it tonight and post up. I first did Strzelecki during Black Saturday when they closed Princes Highway due to the bushfires. It is a fantastic driving road.

    I approve...

    Pretty much cuts my trip time down by half coming from Sale, looks like it'll be a fun drive!
