    my plans have changed a little
    i am now going on the saturday morning
    instead of the fri night
    i will be leaving at about 6:30 am
    hopefully i will get there early enough to claim our spot
    just a warning
    according to some contacts that i know , have told me there will be a marked increase in police presence, some will even be in unmarked station wagons with clothes hanging on hangers in the back , giving the appearance of someone going away for the weekend , also couple of subaru foresters and a hsv ute ,
    he will be near the benalla end, so be careful

    there agenda is more for the higher end offenses like dangerous, driving random breath tests etc etc.
    as there are a shitload of cameras there to handle someone who is committing an affront to our society's
    principles, by going 5 kph over the posted limit
    in other words , if you don't do anything wrong you don't get noticed

    no they are patrolling between craigieburn to benalla
    also from wadonga to benalla and through the black spur to benalla
    i questioned them why the heavy concentration on the historics where the majority of people that attend are old farts like me , it is based on projected crowd numbers at any event ,, to bad they dont practice that managing the dickheads on there way back from the football

    Cheers for the info Ian. I just found out that I won't be leaving until 10 on Sat morning so now that I know the cops will be out in force I won't be so hasty get up there.

    Well l just got my new suspension put in and she is driving beautiful.

    So air out the swag and l will see you boys at the shell servo at about 8.00am.

    Don't worry about me speeding the car will just be cruising.

    I doubt if I will have any issues unless they can book you for loitering
    an iveco motorhome conversion does not set any land speed records especially up hill at kalkallo
    the MR2 on the otherhand could be a worry
