This past Sunday morning, 24°C and the east of Melbourne, Australia is filled with an orchestra of Coyote, Trinity and Ecoboost Mustangs winding through some of the most picturesque roads Australia has to offer. This was the scene last weekend when the Melbourne Mustang6G club hosted a tour through the Yarra.

Members of the club collected in Knox, an outer suburb of Melbourne, to climb through the winding roads of the Dandenong Ranges up to Olinda for one of numerous photoshoots throughout the day. Professional automotive photographer, Joel Strickland, was accompanied by a number of other enthusiast photographers to capture some stills of the day.

The entourage which numbered over 40 Mustangs proceeded through Seville, breaking into smaller packs and taking alternate routes before regrouping on the outskirts of Warburton – a quaint tourist village lining the Yarra river to the east of Melbourne. PB, one of the lead cars, took a more adventurous route to test the range on the 6G.

After regrouping, the group convoyed carefully through rural suburbs where local law enforcement and fire crews appreciated the kaleidoscope of colours presented. With most of suburbia behind them, the fleet arrived at the base of the Reefton Spur – a highlight of Victorian roads with over 40km of winding bitumen snaking up to the Lake Mountain Alpine Resort. The mountain pass is famous with the motorbiking community for its 95% corner ratio and low traffic.

By this point, the crowd were tired and hungry, and with the photographers in tow the group got together for a few epic scenic shots together in advance of the last stretch of the journey along the Black Spur to Healesville for some well-earned pub grub and an opportunity to trade stories of the day.
