Nestled in the little town of Buxton at the foothills of the magnificent Cathedral Ranges, the Igloo Roadhouse is about 1.5 hours from Melbourne along the Maroondah Highway. Once you get to Buxton, the roadhouse is only 400m down the road from the Buxton Hotel.

OH & THIS is the burger:

 

 

[V8Datto]

Dam... wish my 240z was done, I'd so be going to this

 

Buxton burger is well worth the drive, if you haven't been I recommend it.

[luvemfast]

I'm in, if I get the car fixed.

Driving home from NDSOC meeting last night, car getting hot and driving like sh1t.

Pull over at servo only to find VERY low on coolant.

 

Think I have a blown head gasket, hopefully head is ok.

 

[620Z]

I will be in if I get my push button start  working. Just a not for low cars. Maroondah Reservoir has massive speed humps so a lot of cars would bottom out if you do head in there. Sounds like a good drive though Lurch. Hopefully the sun is out. Although not sure sunscreen will be necessary. Ha :-)

[MR260]

I'll try and make it along, though my zed still hasnt changed much since Christmas BBQ.

[C.A.R.]

Yeah I realize that, Dimitri :-\

 

BTW if it's wet & raining I won't be going & I dare say it'd be canceled/postponed if it is.

We got our new VW golf gti this week so we went for a  drive to Buxton, the drive up was crap as there was so much traffic, then the burger made up for it, well worth the drive.

On the way back we went via the reefton spur and I didn't drive up behind a single car until about Warbuton, it was very wet and 3 degrees but a fantastic drive.
