This trip was exceptionally good. The Presenters had gone off to Bendigo and Maldon with two other crews and we took a crew along the back roads from Castlemaine to Sutton Grange, Redesdale and on to Heathcote. Through Heathcote to the Nagambie turn off through Costerfield, Graytown and into Nagambie Big4 caravan park. Rattled tins in Nagambie that afternoon and got a great response from the public there. next morning some went back to Maldon and some went to euroa to rattle tins. On the way to Euroa we did several passing shots of the convoy of Nissans and again got a great response in Euroa.Back for lunch and off to mitchelton winery for shoot and a taste before the concert that night back at nagambie lakes leisure park. we were joined by a couple in a Chrysler Royal and vintage caravan, both of who (which) have been lovingly restored. The vehicles, not the couple.......Another great concert with larger numbers there than we had at Castlemaine.

The trip from Nagambie to Healesville, Warburton was delayed significantly because of an earlier accident at Seymour
so instead of driving the usual route through Seymour, we were detoured by traffic police around the heavy vehicle route, which I was familiar with but I don't think anyone else was. Anyway, we were ably lead by peter huth today and stopped for a fatigue break, morning tea at yea. The next phase of our journey was a bit of a shemozzle and could have been nasty had it been allowed to continue, suffice to say, that I circled the wagons going up Mt. Donna Buang and we had a meeting the result being that I took over the lead and got the convoy arriving safely at Warburton.
GPS seemingly wanted to take us over the mountain and when I passed a sign that read "Not suitable for Trucks, Buses or Caravans", I acted...
