Ok everyone, if your up for an early start, we will be leaving the Ringwood Shell servo (at Mount Dandy Rd) at 5:30 am on Sunday 27 August.
Then travelling via McDonalds Preston (crn St Georges Rd and Bell St) At aprrox 6.10.am we will head off via the Calder Hwy for an early arrival in Bendigo, to meet up with the Bendigo VW Club.
We will then cruise out to Marong (20 minutes) to the RACV Federation Picnic car show.
This will be a nice slow cruise, hence the early start.
Rhett (PHAT BUG) is generously offering his back yard on the Sunday night for those wanting to participate in a Bendigo VW Club shindig, so if you dont wanna rush home, and you can get a day off work, pack a tent and fill the esky.
We hope to get a nice crew of Melbourne cars, so put some thought to it.
Cheers, Josh.

Desert Bug ·
G'day,
Pleased you all had a good time, yeah they're a great bunch at Volksclub Bendigo.
Put some pics up so I can see if you mob pinched anything outa my Graveyard.
I'll be down there in 6 weeks and I think I'll park the Desert Splitty in the middle of the Graveyard and camp there for a while and do some deep breathing and soak up some VW smells etc.
Cheers, Ian.
PHAT BUG ·
A big thanks to everyone that came along it was a great day!
With 1200 cars there the show was huge and the VWs drew a crowd all day long.
But the highlight for me was the camp out last night
(damn Magnesium's Bright when goes off!! haha)
Great weekend overall, enjoy the pics........
Rhettro.

maaaaan, that graveyard looks wild! I wish I wasn't so tired that morning.. I did actually wake up at 4:30 with the intention of going along, but then i turned the alarm off instead of hitting snooz.. then it was all over red rover.. I got out of bed at 11:30.. dam i musta been tired..
fekkinell ·
man... i'm so jealous... i wish i'd been there 😉
Hertz ·
Big thanks to Rhett, one of the most generous blokes you could meet. The guys from the Bendigo Volksclub, who were friendly, down to earth, and knew how to have a laugh. Some truly inspirational stories, like the round Australia oval, the six week splitty ute, the awesome train carriage house ( I love alternative housing). Sunday nights campout was great, nothing like being in the middle of nowere, with such an awesome backdrop, burning engine cases for light, and then getting pizza delivered(20 km drive for $3, good one!).
Ian, there's not much left now mate, so dont rush back. hehe.
Desert Bug ·
Great pics Rhett and Hertz, love the pics of the good cars amongst the dead ones, especialy the one looking over JNRs p/s front gaurd, very artistic. I thought my Country Buggy body was missing but then saw it hiding behind Hertz, so all is well.
Cheers, Ian.
