There was one just a few weekends ago.
I'd like to attend one but it's hard for me at the moment as I'm caring for someone. So a few months away if possible. A nice drive, nice weather, a park, a BBQ somewhere or something. Someone mentioned Hanging Rock a few years ago. I've never been there.

Hanging Rock is a nice place, heaps of room, a good drive and if people want some twisties then you can drive back through Mt Macedon aswell.
Id be interested depending on the date naturally. |

I'm dead keen to come to one of these, but in the past they've always fallen on dates where I've had work or other commitments I can't get out of...but count me in for sure!

I'm looking at buying another AU, so depending on when it is and whether I get one or not, I might come along to the meet. The AU Falcon meet we had about 5 or 6 years ago was awesome. Love to do it again.

When you decide on a place repost in the AU events section . My vote goes with Hanging Rock

hows the last sunday of november (27/11/11)? i figure be the end of spring and start of summer so it should be good waether and its 4 months off so enough time for people to plan/organise if they would like to come or not,
was going to say december but i know most people start doing family things for christmas and new years as well as work break ups etc etc and can be hard. |

Whilst Hanging Rock is scenic and a nice drive, will the carpark situation allow us all to get our AU's together?
The place Kristo chose for us last time, had the top carpark which was untouched until he got there with bollards to claim it for us. I highly doubt we'd be able to have this done at Hanging Rock. So for me, even though the scenery is important, it's more important that we can all park next to each other, without drawing unwanted attention from park officials etc, etc. The park in Bundoora would have no such issues. My 2 cents. GK
