Queen's Birthday? The official opening of the Snow Season? You're mad.

Just try and get back alive, and with your Licence intact. Every traffic cop in Vic will be on that road. Serenity? I don't think so.

Mebbe

2 airbags and a higher vehicle with a solid chassis make me feel more comfortable

Assume everyone else on the road that night is an idiot

Make lots of allowance for stupidity by others

Leave lots of room

Be responsible for myself and my vehicle completely

Don't speed, don't get a ticket

Don't drink and drive, don't lose your license

Been doing it for 17 years on this same weekend

Don't jinx me now JT

The traffic cops won't be a problem .. just good luck getting there over the weekend to begin with, and plan to come back the following weekend .. if 'ya lucky.
The idiotic roadworks should see ya sitting in traffic for hours on end from Yea to Alexandra.

Maybe a good excuse to go up the Hume and over the Strathbogie Ranges(if you live centrally or west of the city).

Good point
I forgot about the extensive 60kmh zone
We're in Eltham but across to the Hume sounds like a good option
Might be 2.5 hrs but not as bad as the Melba or Maroondah

Not trying to. Just I spent six years driving to Buller, a couple of times a week, during each season. And I was in a 48 seat coach, 12 metres long, many tonnes, and it scared the bejesus out of me, the things people do.



Oh, and thanks. JT is about my favourite out of all the things I get called.

Yeah, the roadworks are fun. Both sides of Cotton's Pinch there are more traffic lights than there are in Wodonga. Up to Euroa, and over the hill to Merton would work.
