Gembrook
Woori Yallok (via Ship Rock Picnic Ground)

Yes,excellent drives in that list.I used to live in the upper Yarra Valley but moved to near Wilsons Promontory and the roads here are just fantastic! What a great state we live in -

Yes definitely good driving in that area- fortunately there are still places to visit and drive around Melbourne on the Eastern side where we have lots of trees

A few other ones that are great:
Eildon to Jamieson
Powelton to Nojee
Grand Ridge Rd (Ellinbank to Mirboo North)
Sunny Creek Rd

I am planning my next drive from Loy Yang to Devon North, via the Tarra Valley. Apparently there are a few nice spots to admire along the route.

Great list.
Sometimes I'll sleep at the in-laws in Ringwood and head out there at 5.30am on a weekday (I work shift, best thing ever).
I'm in healseville by 6am and I have everything to myself.

I just read an article in Motor - road test of a 4litre Boxster- they took a run from Heyfield to Licola- apparently you can go on to Jamieson but some is unmade so sports car are maybe suspect for that. The drive test did not actually impress- the car by the sound of it is too low and a not very supple. A friend has an 2003 Boxster and it rides very well and suitable for long hauls.
The lists are good - the Eildon to Jamieson is apparently pretty hairy.

I thought there'd been a sighting of Santa near Melbourne!

I visited the Tarra Valley during the break, from Tarralgon South to Devon North. Weather wasn't ideal, but enjoyed the drive and the area.
