edgy's tour of duty: Adelaide->Melbourne->Sydney starts TODAY!


Recommended Posts

Hello, 

Completely 11th hour, and I thought I'd post it up here in case anyone of the PFA happens to be interested in some quick catch ups along my travels. 

I am flying into Adelaide today (11th March), where I will be picking up my car, kindly being stored by @spiller, I am doing that first thing tomorrow morning, so have proposed maybe a morning coffee catch up in Adelaide tomorrow morning (12th March) 

From there, I am driving to Melbourne, so I will be in Melbourne on the afternoon of the 12th, if anyone was keen for some afternoon beers and/or a feed? I'd say after 700+ km's a drive is not the first thing on my list :LOL:

I will depart from Melbourne Wednesday morning the 13th.. I am unsure of where I'll be located in Melbourne, but high chance it'll be bayside (Brighton) 

 

Cheers, and hope that me and Mr Lapis can catch some PFA crew in our travels.

Hey @edgy... unfortunately work commitments will stop me from catching up with you & Mr Lapis....bummer ‘cos I was expecting to see your car on my next regular visit to Richmonds, but alas not to be.  Have a great drive, and safe travels.

 Sorry, but I'm unable to attend that early mate (Simon messaged me). Safe travels, and watch out for the radars between Adelaide and Tailem Bend! They do love a Porsche ol plod!

Do you know where you will be tomorrow evening?  Somewhere close to the city works?

Not sure, either bay side or CBD.

Ok, 

my morning started at spillers and I’m on the road to Melb. 

I’m staying at the crown Metropol this evening, and will roll in about 5pm, so if anyone is keen for a quick catch up about then, let me know... I don’t mind making a detour enroute to the hotel. 

Cheers

C’mon @edgy, where’s the action shots of Mr Lapis on tour?!? Surely there was a snap or two taken along the way?

I’ll try to summarise my 24 hours thus far in photos! 😂

 

Couple of nice drops upon arrival...

Meeting up with the strange bed fellows this morning, I must say they make a good pair...

No shortage of Grey Nomads... and the weather was misty leaving Adelaide, but then again so was I... 😂

Mr Lapis in the wild...

After an outstanding evening of dining and wine the night before, how else do you top it off? 

Yup, you guessed it, by eating a McChicken meal at a rest stop all by yourself

Just rolled out of the shower, looked out the window to this... guess it’ll do?

No photos of broken (3 month old) windscreen, but it’s ok, I’ll just add it to the continually growing tab of this whole damn debacle... trying to turn a really shitty (and expensive) experience into a positive here... 🤦🏼‍♂️

I suppose I should finish the blog for the 48 hour + 1600km 3 city trip!! 

Caught up with a good friend on the Tuesday evening, a nice steak medley of Blackmore + Cape Grim vintage + some other things attempting to keep it healthy 😂 good vino & bourbon too.

From there I didn’t stop, and got home before the sunset.... I must go and get a load of cypress pine mulch for those cupressus.
