Do you mean around Yarra Bend/Studley park or further out?

Appart from the last week or so, I have been learning my way through this
area's single track selection...

You lucky *******. If I was able to get over to Victoria I would have
entered but I start a new job next week and a sickie/day off wouldn't
look good. However I am going to sign up for MTBSA's Dirty Weekend next
year. Solo, why? Because I'm a knob. Fat, stupid and stubborn.

Why? Because I have a sexy cam-phone and you don't.
Ha.

Hey, it's only 730k's Adelaide to Melbourne. You'd be able to
leave work at 5pm with gear already packed. Drive to
Redesdale, thereby cutting off ~2hrs (maybe). Setup camp
and sleep there the night, ride all weekend, take whatever
speed you had left from the trip here and drive back Sunday
arvo. It's almost too easy! ;-)

from Studley to Birrarung Park though....every night...

Hippy, I work in the seafood industry...we just get up early.
