Hi guys n girls,
We recently spent a very enjoyable day out at Hawks Nest and thought it would make a great lunch cruise destination!
So... meet up at Heatherbrae pies round 10:00 , Sunday May 30th.
Cruise up the highway, then take the Tea Gardens exit, through to Hawks Nest and pull up for lunch just behind the surf club - there's electric BBQ facilities, a cafe / bistro across the road and a playground for the littlies... something for everyone!
Hope to see you there,
Matt

We will be there for a pie if it rains too Reddo.
but I'm hoping that the rain clouds will be blown away by then, and we will get out for a good cruise.

Hi All
Just finished typing up a full account of the day out .. then hit "close"instead of "Submitt"
Soo..... Here is an abbreviated version of the run.
3 FB's at Heatherbrae by 10..00am.
Brownbear and family in the wagon.
FB Cruisin and the family in the grey and white sedan
Me and Trish in the Panelvan.
"Billy Blackarrow "and "Oldholden" turned up in a T@#@ta 4x4 wagon just to enjoy the day out and talk old Holden whenever we stopped.
At The Pie shop....

left about 10.30 and it was plain sailing with a 30 knot southerly blowing us up the Highway.
Arrived at the park in Hawks nest and the kids took off for the swings with the mums following close behind..

Is it any wander they call this part of the world a Blue water wanderland... Who said we where in for a Cyclone today
Trish and i split and headed to Karuah for fish and chips as well as a sniff around the typically overpriced Antique shop with no early Holden bits to be found.
Thanks for a great day out guys.
All the cars ran great.
Lookin foward to the Nats now.. see yas there.
