Ruffy is the place about 2hrs north of Melbourne where the techniques of getting rabbits with Gelignite were developed, it also had the closest Remote area school to Melb.
Today is has just the Ruffy Produce store and is a beautiful place to have lunch.
We plan to follow the format Muz used in last years Bendigo day drive.
I.E. Meet up at a cafe, the Giddy Goat Cafe Yarck , and leave there at 11am for the short 25min drive to Ruffy for lunch. (All bitumem road to Ruffy)
Yarck is 90 min from Melbournes east via Yarra Glen and Yea (2 hrs up the hume) .
We plan to get to Yarck about 10am which allows plenty of time for a coffee or two and to greet everyone before the 11am depart.
Plan is to finish Ruffy lunch by 2pm and drive via 2wd back dirt roads to Robin & Annes 4wd property named Blue Gums where we will provide afternoon tea.
Event should end at Blue Gums by 4pm so you can get back to town in daylight, however camping is available and attendees are welcome to stay the night. (campervans ok - its just a flat paddock)
After the event ends at 4pm anyone interested will be able to go 4wding around Blue Gums.
