From what I experience when I head to Tulla I'm thinking that if we left from Cranbourne at 7 it would take close to 2hrs to get there.
I'm almost tempted to aim to arrive at 7:30 to avoid the majority of the peak traffic.. haha :(
All it takes is one accident on the Monash and there could be massive delays allow for 2 hour trip if there is a good run maybe have a meet at a servo to cruise on in together...just a thought.

Cheers Cam,
I think 7am will be the go.
I hate cutting it fine. I would much rather be an hour early than 15mins late.

I will be in the white EL Ghia.

I'm happy to have you in the car if you're happy to sit in it.

*EDIT* I've just remembered that I need to stop in Noble Park on the way home to pick up my daughter.

As there is only a few of us and it's a big car park; I suggest the top corner, closest to the intersection of Sth Gippy and Thomspons Rd for anyone planning to meet at Cranbourne Bunnings.

See attached map for location.
