Hey everyone,

I need someones help that knows the roads from Westgate bridge to Great Ocean Road.

We are organising a cruise for the 28th Feb and we were planning on using the same map we have used for quite a few years.

I have been told that the roads have changed a bit but I don't have the time to drive down and check it out. I tried using google maps but I still rather confirm with someone that knows.

If you know the roads like the back of your hand and are kind enough to help me out, please email, pm me.

Thanks

Brandon

They have built the Geelong bypass

So now you can go to Great Ocean Rd without having to waste time being stuck in Geelong traffic

The freeway splits before Geelong with a turnoff to the old route labeled "Geelong" and the bypass is labeled "to Great Ocean Rd"

yeah to bypass geelong, stick to the 2 right hand lanes of the free way as your come up to Geelong. that will take you on the by pass 100kph no lights, saves like 30-45mins.

then if i can remember right, there is a turn after geelong, maybe 10-20 after the bypass that will take you to GOR.

there are Geelong locals on SAU that will be able to help you much more :)

i just bypass all the shit to get to Warrnambool , dont take much notice of anything else

the bypass will pop you out at a road that goes to anglesea from memory, IMO I would take it. well signed.

it runs from pretty much lara to fyansford(geelong ring road) note the route is an example only to show the ring road, not one I have used.

Thanks for the quick replies.

Yah I am sure that there are very clear signs heading to GOR but the reason why I ask the info is for the Cruise Maps we hand at the meet.

This is a snip-et straight from the current Map, as you can see it is fairly detailed and this is the cut-downed version :)

1) Meet at Todd Road Shell Service Centre/KFC before Westgate Bridge (MEL 56 H1). MAKE SURE YOU FILL UP HERE.

2) Exit Shell and turn left onto the Westgate Fwy (M1) and stay on until signs show merging onto Princes Fwy (M1). Follow road left (MEL 40 E11).

3) Continue to stay on the Princes Fwy (M1) (MEL 442) through Corio into Geelong (Mel 432 & 442). Note speed decreases when driving through Geelong.

4) Take M1 through North Geelong into Geelong, passing the Ford Factory (MEL 442 & 452). Get into the right hand lanes, M1 heading towards Torquay, continue up over bridge on the M1 (MEL 452 A1).

Note on Myers Road Geelong – Red light/speed camera at intersection (MEL 451 K4)

5) Continue on M1 past turn off for B110 and past Kardinia Park on the left hand side (MEL 401).

Note red light/speed camera at intersection of M1 and C112 (MEL 401 C11).

6) Continue on M1 crossing over the Barwon River (MEL 451 K8)

7) Turn left at lights onto B100 Surf Coast Hwy towards the Great Ocean Road/Torquay (MEL 465 J1) soon after passing Daytona Go Karts Centre on the left.

So I think since we state to keep on the M1, no changes are required.

dont like that route, sounds like you will be going straight through geelong, see my link above for the ring road bypass...

your group will be split up completely through geelong, every intersection has a redlight camera, and its only 70kph

bypass 100kph, no lights and double turning lane at the end to exit. much better to go that way to keep the cars together.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
