Hey Othmar ....An Irish Blessing for you and Marie-Theres as you embark on your wonderful journey.....
MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU
MAY THE WIND ALWAYS BE AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE WARM UPON YOUR FACES
MAY THE RAIN FALL SOFTLY UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
MAY GOD HOLD YOU BOTH IN THE HOLLOW OF HIS HAND.

Test Routenplaner

Erste Etappe: YARRA VALLEY AND DANDENONG RANGES - "Linking the Yarra Valley with the mountain areas around Marysville is the road known as the Black Spur Drive, which passes between Healesville with Narbethong on the Maroondah Highway. Famous for its heady scenery of spectacular tall forests, the Black Spur winds its way up the Great Dividing Range".
