We’ll spend around 30–40 minutes here, giving everyone a chance to park up, grab some photos and enjoy the sunset before heading off again as daylight disappears.   From Ceres, we’ll head through Stonehaven and Sutherlands Creek, taking the backroads north before making our way across to North Shore.   Our second stop will be Moorpanyal Park, where we’ll park up for some night photos with the lights and industrial backdrop of North Shore behind us.   From there, it’s one final short cruise into Geelong, arriving at Lazy Moe’s at around 10pm for pancakes, dessert, dinner or whatever enormous serving you decide to take on.   🌅 Sunset 🚗 Backroads 🏭 Industrial lights 🥞 Pancakes   All makes, models and eras are welcome. Whether you’re bringing a classic, hot rod, JDM, Euro, Aussie muscle, 4WD, EV or your everyday pride and joy, bring it along.   This is a social cruise, not a race. Normal road rules apply at all times and everyone is responsible for their own vehicle and driving. We’ll provide the route so there’s no need to rush or drive unsafely to keep up with the car in front.   ROUTE   Autobarn Waurn Ponds → Ceres Lookout → Stonehaven → Sutherlands Creek → North Shore → Moorpanyal Park → Lazy Moe’s Geelong   🗺️ Route: Google Maps Link Come for the sunset, stay for the pancakes.
