There is a lot of history just north of Melbourne that we normally drive past on the way to other places. This is a great opportunity to explore a few of those places on a day trip, with pleasant cruising in good company.
There will be time for a pleasant morning tea and exploration in charming Trentham. Lunch will be in the historic Shamrock Hotel in Kyneton, along with some detailed information of the history to explore in town. We'll also drop into or pass through another five historic towns or localities, as well as a historic road and a waterfall. We'll finish about 3.30pm in Lancefield, just 30 minutes outside of Melbourne's outskirts.
This is a different tour to the historic towns tour we did two years ago, but with some overlap.
The drive instructions to be sent out just prior to the event include explanatory guide notes of the history we'll be exploring.
Meet at the BP Roadhouse/Truckstop on the Calder Freeway (M79) outbound, just past Calder Park Raceway. Meet at 9.00am for a 9.30am departure. The morning tea stop will be about 11.00am and lunch is booked for 1.15pm.
All food and drink is at the individual's expense on the day. Registration, including guest numbers, ensures adequate lunch seating.
Registration closes on Thursday 18 September.
We will be using the TourBoss app on this drive. Please download the app ready for use. We highly recommend you have a UHF radio with you on all our drives we will be on channel 17.

BMWDCM likes to offer a range of driving experiences, from gentle cruises through interesting roads to more serious drives.
This drive is designed for people who wish to drive enthusiastically - but safely - along twisty roads in scenic countryside. It's about enjoying our cars on the sorts of roads BMWs typically excel on, but within the common-sense constraints of safety on public roads with other road users, pedestrians and wildlife about. This drive is not about exploring you or your car's limits; if you want to do that, BMWDCM offers racetrack events.
Restriction: drivers on this drive must be current financial members of BMWDCM.
The drive will take in several roads in the Lake Eildon area, with a late lunch at Mansfield before returning on some back roads to Yea then on to Melbourne. It will be a very full day of driving, although there are options to head back more directly after lunch.
Meet at Lillydale Lake in Lilydale at 8.40am for a 9.00am departure. There will be several stops in addition to the lunch break, and we should arrive back in Yarra Glen a little after 5.00pm.
Registration closes on Friday 17 October.
Meet at the BP/MacDonalds Roadhouse on the South Gippsland Highway (M420) at Caldermeade at 9.00am for a 9.30am departure. We'll head through the beautiful West Gippsland scenery to arrive in Wonthaggi at 11.00am
Join us for a demonstration of the state of the art SES facility and find out more about what these tireless volunteers do to keep us safe. Your $20 per vehicle donation will help them with funding for equipment and staffing.
We will have time for lunch before the coal mine tour at the cafe.
Join us on a tour of Wonthaggi's historic coal mine. Underground tours are limited to 20 members. If we get more than 20 we will do two groups, at 1.00pm and 1.30pm. There are details below for the underground mine tour. For those not going underground, there are extensive above-ground displays and history to explore.
The day should finish around 3.00pm ready for an easy freeway cruise home (or an alternative twisty inland road), or stay over in Inverloch at the wonderful RACV resort - use your RACV membership to gain a discount.

Challenge Bathurst is an invitation-only regularity event and we are very lucky to be invited to join in again for 2025. This is a fantastic opportunity to tick off one of your bucket list items and drive on one of the best circuits in the world. You only need a level 2 or above Motorsport Australia licence, you don't need to have a fully prepared race car - any vehicle that you use at a normal sprint day will be eligible as long as it is a BMW and passes scrutineering.
This year we have been offered 55 spots at a cost of $2000 per entrant. Your spot will only be secured once full payment has been received.
All paperwork will need to be returned completed too.
We will have 9 pit lane garages for all competing.
Once we have made the full payment to Challenge Bathurst, all refunds and cancellations are subject to Challenge Bathurst's cancellation policy.
What is a Regularity ?
A regularity is a timed competition event, where you nominate a lap time which you need to try to match each lap. This is not racing door to door, but allows you to drive at a pace that is comfortable for you and your car.
We will also need to supply 10 flag marshalls to help on the Thursday and Friday.
Please watch this video. Volunteers register here.
We need your help, so please ask your fellow club members to come along and help out. Arrive early and volunteer as a flag marshal and help those who normally help you drive. Please remember without volunteers you cannot have fun on the track, so this is your way of giving back. All volunteers will be offered free camping or accommodation at the Uni, fee applies. Register here to volunteer for specific days.
Any drivers volunteering on the Thursday and Friday will be able to go through scrutineering on Wednesday.
Team merchandise will also be available to order through this link.
There will be no stock at the track; orders will be all done via pre-ordering. All drivers will be required to wear team merchandise. Please note these come up large, so order 1 size smaller.
This is available to all current members of all invited BMW Affiliated clubs.
Not a BMW Club member? Easy, join here.
You will need to find your own accommodation and transportation to get there.
Full payment will be required on registration.
Full details will be sent out on the running of the event in July with further paperwork.

Round 8 of the 2025 Traction Tyres/Yokohama Drivers Championship is at Phillip Island, hosted by Alfa Romeo Owners Club Vic.
Bring the family for a picnic, enjoy all the amazing cars on display and explore the wonders of this truly amazing Melbourne Landmark.
You can enter the show and shine, just display your car or just join us for a picnic lunch.
The Show and Shine will have an 'open' category for any non-BMW cars, no matter whether Ford, GM or any other make! We know there are plenty of amazing cars out there and we would love to see them on the day, even if you don't enter the judging.
The Show and Shine judging rules are here.
Only BMWDCM members may enter the Show and Shine competition, but visitors are welcome to display cars and join for the picnic lunch.
We will have a BBQ there in the morning with egg and bacon rolls which will just be a donation in the charity tin. Huge thank you to the guys and gals from All Residential/All Commercial Real Estate and All Marque Storage for giving their time to cook breakfast for us all and to Bell Motorsport for donating the food.
There are scattered picnic tables in the gardens but I would advise you to bring your own picnic chairs and tables to be safe. No rubber backed Picnic Rugs are allowed on the lawns.
Coffee and cold drinks will be available to purchase at the venue.
There will be ample parking for those not participating in the show and shine or the display but still want to join us for a bit of fun.
We have been in contact with Santa and he said he will be swinging by to check out all the little kiddies and big kiddies to make sure you have been good in 2025. There will be Christmas raffles, so make sure you bring cash with on you on the day.
Products will be available for sale on the day from Sonax Australia.
Show and Shine judging will be in classes of similar age cars: the exact classes will be determined by entries so as to have about the same number in each class. This is not a concours event; originality is not a criterion. It is all about how well the car is cleaned and presented. No demerits for stone chips or the like. The Show and Shine competition is open to BMWDCM members only.
Peoples Choice award available on the day.
STRICTLY NO PETS ALLOWED
