Or just type Healsville in the suburb and select Victoria as the state and click search.

LOTS of fun with new friends.
That was one of the best drives I've ever had the pleasure to do.
Bright sunny day, driving through snow with the top down, lots of twisty bits, good company, what more could you ask for?
:D :D :D

On last week's club run to Eildon, we ran into 1 van on the way up who pulled over for us, and had a blast on the way back with no-one getting in the way at all on the way back. Very unusual, but a lot of fun.

I'm glad they recommend the run up to Lake mountain & back. They should also include the other detour up to Mt. Donna Buang and back. The top part of that in particular is spectacular.

So many nice roads in that area! So little time in a day!

I drove both spurs yesterday - a I can say is they are bloody fantastic. No traffic at all apart from quite a few bikes comong the other way and a ute that pulled over for me. Thoroughly recommended - I can see why bikers love them so much. The road up to Lake Mountain is definitely worth the detour, too.
