Mid Week Run to Mt Victoria

22 August 2013 / Bob Quinlan

I arrived at McDonalds Richmond at 10.00am, took photos and had coffee with 22 MX-5 Club members and friends.  At 10.30am Noel led 12 MX-5s on the Bells Line Of Road heading up the mountains for the Apple Bar for our morning refreshments only to discover that it was closed when we arrived.  Noel then took us up to Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens for a pleasant morning tea overlooking the gardens, valleys and mountains.

After our morning tea and group photos we headed on up to Bell for our only turn on the route, a solitary right turn, to run over the Darling Causeway to Mt Victoria.  At the Imperial Hotel we found two more cars waiting to join us for our country pub lunch.

After lunch we all went their own way with eight of us returning to the city on the Great Western Highway.  We stopped at Wentworth Falls for coffee before saying our farewells and heading home to finish off a good day out in our MX-5s.  Thanks to Noel La Rose for an enjoyable day.  It was great to see Ken Liston driving his car on the run.  Good time had by all,
