Jim and Di warmly invite you to join them for a relaxed and fun filled drive day through the meandering and scenic roads of Murrindindi. We'll begin our journey at the Black Spur Inn, gathering for a cheerful briefing before heading towards Yea.
In Yea, enjoy a relaxed morning tea at one of the town’s delightful local cafes or bakeries or feel free to stop at one of Yea’s lovely parks and soak in the peaceful surroundings.
From Yea, we will regroup and continue winding our way through the stunning landscapes of Flowerdale, Hazeldene, and Kinglake West, taking in the diverse beauty of the region.
Our final destination is Lobley Wines, who have generously opened their doors exclusively for our club on a day they are normally closed. They will be serving a delicious array of wood-fired pizzas and other tempting menu items, with their exceptional hand-crafted wines available for purchase.
After a relaxed lunch, the trip concludes and you are free to head home at your own pace, with memories of a day well spent.
