As you probably know the recent fires in the Halls Gap area have caused a lot of damage not only to the countryside but also to the local businesses which rely on January holiday trade for their base income.
This short trip is to have an enjoyable few of days at Halls Gap and help boost the local economy mid week after the school term has started.
The plan is for those coming from the Geelong side of town, to meet up with those coming from Melbourne at Ballan, have a quick coffee, and then leave at about 10:30 am to drive to Halls Gap. As the aim is to spend money in Halls Gap we will drive directly there and be there for lunch.
Once in Halls Gap there are many things to do. We are developing a plan which will probably include the Zoo and Adventure Golf (fancy name for crazy golf) but you can do your own thing if you wish.
We will try and sort a half day drive, road access permitting, to somewhere scenic on interesting roads.
The return trip will be the reverse of the outbound trip, leaving Halls Gap probably after a slightly early morning tea to arrive at Ballan by about 12:30 pm, a good time for lunch before heading home.
Please book your own accomodation. To make the trip more friendly it would be nice if we all stayed at one location, but please suit yourself. We have selected the Kookaburra Motor Lodge . All their rooms have Queen beds, even those called "Twin"!
We highly recommend you have a UHF radio with you on all our drives. We will be on channel 17. or as advised on the day.
Please give as much advance notice as possible if your ability to attend the event changes.
