The Third Stage of the Rootes Tour of Australia ran from 31st. March to 11th. April 2001.
The stages have taken place every two years; the first stage in 1997 was a 10 day tour of Tasmania,
and the second stage in 1999 was a 10 day tour of parts of South Australia.
The Third Stage started from Ballarat and took us, in about 15 assorted Rootes vehicles, to
Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula, to Queenscliff, St Leonards, Daylesford, Castlemaine,
Glenrowan, Beechworth in Central Victoria, Bright and ended at Albury NSW. We stay in
first-class accommodation each night on each tour and everybody has a most enjoyable time.
