[VIC] Twisties down Mornington Peninsula way?
Did a quick search on this forum to no avail. So, any decent twisty roads down Mornington Peninsula area apart from the magnificant Arthur's Pass?

Re: [VIC] Twisties down Mornington Peninsula way?
Arthurs seat is defiantly the best on the Mornington peninsula.(100km zone too )
There are some nice roads through along the top of red hill, the run from Flinders to cape shank has some great tight bends with wicked camber and elevation changes.
The main problem is that most of the best driving roads are have a lot of houses with blind drives/massive trees on both sides of the roads and and healthy police presence.
The best driving road that ive found within reasonable distance is the Wilsons promontory road. If you get down there during the off season it can be totally deserted. Driving bliss.

Re: [VIC] Twisties down Mornington Peninsula way?
celicapain's pretty much spot on - BIL lives down that way, was down there last year with a hire Toyota 86 and there are some nice roads to be had, but busy with the winery/café crowd over the weekend (so expect plenty of SUVs pulling out on to roads) and sighting's not ideal. Arthur's Seat is well worth a look but has police, tourist and cyclist presence as well so a 'patrol' run is a wise investment of time.
If you're just cruising around it's no issue but I wouldn't be exploring limits there on the weekend. Well, I wouldn't be exploring limits during the week either (I save that stuff for the track) but you know what I mean.
