Directions for drivers
Once on the Western Highway, take the Pykes Creek/Blackwood exit (past Bacchus Marsh, just near Ballan).  Continue up this road until you enter the township of Blackwood.  You will come into Blackwood along the main road.  Turn left at the Cobb & Co tearooms (towards the sports ground) then take the first left into Simmons Reef Road (towards the Garden of St. Erth).  The two houses we are using are opposite each other on this road: Woodside (on the right -- where we'll gather), and Hillside on the left.
In case anyone has any difficulty, the phone numbers for the houses are: Woodside (03) 5368 6633, Hillside (03) 5368 6603.
