Welcome to the High Country of beautiful Victoria with its amazing roads and fantastic scenery.

The venue for this amazing gathering of jolly old people is

http://snowlinehotel.com.au/ in Harrietville Vic.

The afternoon of the 18th is sure to be a hoot with interstate riders arriving with dry dusty throats.

So come one come all for a wicked weekend in the High Country.

That sounds like a plan Rob, leaving on the Wednesday would allow for a relatively easy 2 day run to arrive on the Friday. Will organise my leave around that sort of travel time.  

Ray. If you could swing by Grafton and pick me up on the way would be great. I will be on leave so can travel with you.

Can I tagalong with you 2?

Due to time constraints and distance.
Unfortunately we will not be able to supply the chickens for this years raffles. I think they would be featherless by the time they arrived...
So after consultation with the committee. It was decided that the honour this year must go to a southern rider.


PS.. Danielle and I are Booked in :good2:

love it up there. Think I'm going to have to try get to this.  See if my other half might be interested to.

Jeff0308

All going well I / we ( my better half) will be attending. However, FJ may be lazy and trailered up only because my wife suffers from a crook back and not certain if the ride will agrovate it.  Great spot up there.

Booked! Done! Looking forward to it

Glad to see another Victorian committing to attend the Rally. One of the reasons that Victoria was nominated as the Rally venue was to encourage southerners to get a bit more involved in the Rally scene ; to show you what you've been missing out on by not attending the Rallies. I'm sure that you'll have a great experience Jeff (and Mrs Jeff)
   Looking forward to catching up with you.
                                                             Regards, Pete.   :drinks:

That's right Pete ! After a quick count. The Victorians are still showing the lowest numbers...

Look I Know some of you have commitment issues  :praising: and there are all the reasons under the sun not to attend.

So go ahead step out of your comfort zone and give snowlinehotel.com.au a call and book in .

If not for you do it for your  FJ . ( I know it wants to attend)

Who knows you might even enjoy it too :good2:


Ps This is not solely directed at Victorians but all Aussie FJ owners.
