Ok i did some research, & heres some attaction at Arthurs Seat

Arthurs Seat Cottage
Features wide range of quality Australian made gifts, T-Shirts, and more........hmmmmmmmm late christmas shopping anyone???

Arthurs Seat Chairlift

Yes this is the one that injured many, so i guess we will give it a miss, unless you want to send someone "special" on it.

Arthurs Seat Maze
Yes get lost in the Maze or do what ever you might think other won't be able to see what you actually doing in the Maze ahahahahaha

Arthurs Seat State Park
Yep this is where there's a BBQ, bushwalk & views.

Arthurs Seat seems to be the everyone's pick so that looks like our destination!!

I'm sure we can find a supermarket on the way otherwise we can make a slight detour and do some food shopping

I have to say though that i've never been there before though

I'll have a bash at makin a map of the way there though if i get some spare time

Oh and before i forget, just to let everyone know this cruise is in no way endorsed by FTO Australia, it's just us people getting together of our own free will to enjoy some driving

hey Ethan, thanks to yr persistance for cruising, yr the inspiration for this cruise.

FTO338 · Post by **FTO338** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 2:43 pm

Well there's a safeway at The Glen, but i doubt that we can all able to get a parking at The Glen, since its Xmas shopping time.

Can people actually turn up a little bit earlier, because if we factor in that we might spend 10mins from Reserve to The Glen, another 10-15mins for looking for parking, & another 1/2 hr to 45mins for shopping, so by the time we really heading to Arthurs Seat, it could be 12:15pm-12:45pm.

FTOluv · Post by **FTOluv** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 3:23 pm

I reckon instead of going to The Glen we should go to Port Philip Plaza which is in Rosebud and is only 10 minutes away from Arthurs Seat.
Becuz the route we will be taking will be along the coast leading us into Rosebud.
That cool Kevy

As usual I'm double booked but this time they can all take a flying f@*% as I have missed too many cruises. Also we have a hol house at Rye just in case the weather turns nasty. All welcome.

Slither · Post by **Slither** » Wed Dec 15, 2004 2:02 am

Oh shan that sucks!!

People need to be more careful around FTO's!!!!

You should still hitch a ride with me or another fellow FTO'er the more the merrier and that goes for all others attending!!!

msbchi · Post by **msbchi** » Wed Dec 15, 2004 2:22 am

Just a suggestion, if you havn't set the route for the cruise as yet, DON'T take the Penisula freeway. Firstly, cause it's boring and secondly I'm still paying off my last fine' as it is heavily patrolled by Mr, Plod. I personally love the Old Nepean H/way, from Mornington thru Mt. Martha to Safety Beach. The road has lots of the beloved twisties, like a mini Great ocean Road and ends up just below Aurthurs bum. Gotta be the best way down and no Highway patrol as they are too busy on the Freeway. Not that we have any intention of breaking the law in any way what-so-ever officer. It's just that I get this cramp in my right leg,

hey Shannon be sure to come down dude. Should be a great day

and yes Msbchi, we definately arent taking the penisula freeway as that would defeat the purpose of the cruise. The route u mentioned is the one that we will be taking. Thanks for bringing that up

FTOluv · Post by **FTOluv** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 11:30 am

Just to get people opinions if there is crappy weather on the day (everyone knows how rowdy Melbourne weather can get

) where would u guys like to go?
It has been suggested to go for a group lunch and then bowling or movie.
Any other suggestions?

No idea!

Slither · Post by **Slither** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 7:21 pm

PARTY AT MIL'S PLACE

Nah seriously i think a few people mentioned bowling, and it sounds like a fun idea, unfortunately the weather looks like it's going to be against us so maybe we should organise an alternative!!!

i'll put my hands up for bowling, anyone else??

rxboy · Post by **rxboy** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 10:48 pm

Bowling for me too

FTO AUSTRALIA

Would you still be interested in a bbq on the 19th December?
