[old4570]

June / July ?

One of the Parks ..

Gavin has lots of new toys to show off

[stoli67]

Why is there never a Sydney get together? I used to live in Melbourne too ...........

[old4570]

Some one has to light a fire under the Sydney Flashaholics !

[mvyrmnd]

It's 'cause the Sydney guys don't have someone to cool them lamb on a spit

Everyone could always meet up in Canberra :P there's two guys there who never get to see anyone!

I'm not sure when I can sneak off to Melbourne. If some dates are tossed around I'll see what I can do.

[old4570]

Dates are open ! , + there are school holidays .. (if that helps)

Locations ?

[Fusion_m8]

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

[Trevtrain]

Crap! Would be interested but can't do June 23 weekend. Grand-Aunty has 100th birthday in country Vic.

[mvyrmnd]

I'm on call that weekend, so I can't come down.

[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.

Norm

[Fusion_m8]

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.

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...

Sound good Gav.

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.
