Melbourne - Australia [ not Florida ] Next Meet ?

[Norm]

I'm out that weekend and the prior weekend.
The moon is waxing on the 30th and would be about the same as the 23rd.

At Sherbrooke, the dense foliage blocks out any moonlight anyway. 30th sounds fine.

 

[Norm]

Sherbrooke may not be necessary there shouldn't be a problem with he moon on the 30th.

30th

Location ?
Lysterfield Lake? Grant's Picnic Grounds, Kallista? Sherbrooke Falls picnic area, Sherbrooke?

Jells Park? - or Maybe Back side of Lysterfield park ? of Hallam North Rd I think .. If you Google Earth , there is a nice car park ..

 

[old4570]

Here is a Google Earth Grab ! = One of these days I should just go take a look , but looks like a nice spot maybe ...

 

[Fusion_m8]

Is the carpark right next to a lake?

 

[Trevtrain]

Yep. Look for Hallam North road in google maps, then drop to street view.

Just got back from checking out the proposed venue at 0230hrs. Took a nice cruise alone on this cold and foggy night via Wellington Rd. Almost hit 6 bloody roos lining the friggin road, saw them in time and managed to swerve away. Got to the end of Hallam North Rd carpark, a solitary Mitsubishi Pajero parked smack in middle of the tiny space with seriously foggy windows made the "recce" more difficult as I didn't want to intrude. Looks very dark and isolated though, even with residential properties lining Hallam North Rd, Lysterfield South. The perfect setting for Romero's Night of The Living Dead...

I didn't see any picnic tables and benches to sit on and to put our stuff, it seems we may have to use ours car bonnets for that, which is fine by me.

I don't suppose we can delay this until I land my FFIII? I'm sure Gav would love a play with it

 

[Fusion_m8]

Not here in 2.5 weeks left to go?? What shipping option did u use? Anyway in regards to the date and place, I'm whatevs bro...

 

[Norm]

Must be coming from DX

 

[Fusion_m8]

Bloody hot this morning, there was ice and frost on the front yard and the roof of my car. Time to get the bathers and thongs and head to the beach.

It's coming by EMS from the 'states, but you never know.

 

[old4570]

Im sure I could scrounge up one table ,

 

[Fusion_m8]

Or we could go to the Horswood Rd end of the lake and have a BBQ since we have CPFers coming from country areas like Wangaratta, Ballarat and Warragul. Having a good BBQ on a cold winters night will make the trip for all more enjoyable. I can supply the meat, just need a head count so I can buy enough.

 

[Norm]

Looks good Gav.

I'm just looking on Google Maps from the roundabout and it looks like there are gates into the park? Does anyone know if they are closed at a certain time of night? I think Jells Road locks theirs and I know Karkarook Park around the corner from me locks up at "dark". Not terribly flashaholic friendly!

A short walk to the BBQs would be OK as long as there is still somewhere to park at that time of night.

EDIT 8am to 8pm daylight saving time according to this: http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/explore/parks/lysterfield-park
