Hi guys
The GT club undertook a Mad Max historical run on the weekend, basically visiting all of the sites where Mad Max was filmed in western Melbourne. Review with pics here http://www.falcongtclub.org/EventLis...6+October+2005 It was a fantastic day, and I think the directions and notes were created by another car club in 2001. However, if your club is looking for an event to organise for your members, I highly recommend this one as 1) it was great fun and 2) all of the directions etc are already done for the organisers 3) almost all of the sites etc are still intact as they where when the film was made 20+ years ago. 4) Some great touring roads Either way, hope you enjoy the pics at least even if you dont follow the trail yourself one day Enjoy

Wow! That would have been a great day. Cardboard box spoiler on the back, couple of dark lines scribbled across the car, instant XB GT and I could have headed down.

Looks like a great day. One other location to add (well known but probably not everybody knows it) is the MFP garage where Goose is working on Max's car is the Melbourne University underground carpark.
Next trip - the Mad Max 2 locations lol |

Sounds like a great cruise, any chance of specific directions to the locations being posted, or even a map?

I want to do it, but want to wait for the coupe to be finished. It wouldn't be the same in the Fairlane.
