PAST EVENT
Sunday 3rd of April 2022 - Country Cruise - 5 Valley Dash
Back by popular demand, this long spirited drive through the Collie, Ferguson, Preston, Blackwood and Capel Valleys gives you the opportunity to spend some time on roads further afield. It is not a relaxed tour of the region with long lunches and coffee breaks; it is about the drive and the roads.
This spirited drive may challenge a single driver, or it will be a bit more laid-back (but no less fun) for two. It won’t be a navigation exercise; the instructions are straightforward and will be emailed to you in advance so you can put them in your GPS if you want to.
We meet at Stirling Cottage Kitchen, corner South Western Highway & James Stirling Place, Harvey some 140 km south of Perth from 9 am onwards if you want to have a brekkie, or in time for the 9:30 am departure if you are having yours beforehand. Make sure you top up your fuel tank in Pinjarra, Waroona or Harvey beforehand.
From Harvey the 360 km drive along secondary roads takes you into the forests of the Geographe Bay hinterland, farmland, hills, vines, National Parks, State Forests and of course that magic bit of twisting black-top along the Blackwood River, which this time we do in both directions, with a stop at the Nannup Brewery Co. for lunch.
We finish around 4 pm at the Brugan microbrewery in Wokalup some 143 km south of Perth to reflect on the day's drive and share some stories before you make your own way home.
All in all you are looking at a total distance of some 645 km; a bit more if you hail from the northern suburbs and a bit less if you are a southerner.
Please RSVP by email to events@mx5club.com.au, advising if you are driving solo or with a navigator, before 27 March so we can finalise the lunch booking at the Nannup Brewery Co (we will need to pre-order), send you the cruise notes and know who should be at the meeting point before we depart.
