I just decided I need to get out there tomorrow.
Anybody spontaneously up for a drive?

We could meet in Whittlesea between 8:30 and 9:00. Send me a PM with your mobile number if you want to join me. I'll check before I leave tomorrow.

Mt dissapointment doesn't sound like much fun.

Maybe the bloke who named it was in a yota.

History lesson: it was named after either Hume or Hovell [ I think ]
hiked to the top hoping to see views of Melbourne, upon arrival at
the summit he said thats "disappointing" and the name stuck.
however after the Black Saturday fires you could see Melbourne from the summit,

Some slippery slopes up there... Was good to see the 4WD work a bit even though I was second winner on two tracks.
That clay takes a while to wash off...
