FTO AUSTRALIA

Looks like it's time to start organising another SA cruise to Dwaynes place for the 2015 Bonfire.
I am happy to organise overnight stop overs again.
We can start thinking about our route, I know some of you would like to take The Great Ocean Rd and cruise through VIC.
This would allow us to meet up with the VIC's on the way through.
I am planning on taking a bit moar time off work this time around so I'm happy with a longer cruise.
I would suggest that we take the same route home as the last trip though.

Details of bonfire here...

Keen, also in favour of taking a route that is not all desert and salt bush. If we can nail down how long it'll take I might even put my leave in for work now haha.

Considering this.

Phil please drive through Melbourne!

I believe a cruise on the Great Ocean Road is a requirement this year. And i'll even buy a video camera for it

Looks like I'm in. Time to take Goldie Locks on her first interstate run.

I'll bring the Slow Life filming gear and make a short film of it. Please bring the GoPros though!

Time to get things organised.

Again I suggest camping each night, and again I am willing to organise bookings and money.
I might be able to organise 1 nights stay in Melbourne, depending on numbers.
Our return journey will be the same as last year, including 1 night in a cabin @ Hay (if available)

I have worked out a rough route for our journey, as requested this time via Great Ocean Rd and Melbourne...

Alright, good to see things are a bit more organised haha. I was about to stir things up myself because work are pestering me about locking in my leave dates.

I'm still in

Putting in leave today, they are going to f**king hate me for it. Taking the 20th-4th off in a row, gives enough time for me to pre-prepare for the bonfire, and recover from the Bonfire. That way I won't be a pussy this year and i'll stay up all night and be merry . Nothing like committing half my years leave for the bonfire hahaha

I'm still in minus the partner as it'll be right in the middle of her studies.

Nobody to drive the car back at any rate.

Oh and I've got a pretty comfortable couch if needed here as well
