Jafs Cruise
Joe 70:
Guys, looks like Jafs is on again this year.....
SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/JafsLastCruise
“Its official start will be Tea Tree Plaza. Saturday 28th December. Leaving at 8pm.
…Location is changing due to the boom gate installation at West Lakes. West lakes will simply be unworkable due to the sheer number of cars.
As far as I'm concerned West Lakes was/is the best location for a cruise. Just not a cruise with over 100 cars let alone over 1000. Maccas. Undercover. Close to beach route.
Anyway. Westfields policy is not going to change. Its free for 3 hours. And free after 6pm.
The cruise needs to move.
There is some criteria for trying to keep people happy. Space for 1300+ cars. Food and toilet facilities. Location within 15kms of CBD. Shelter is a bonus.
Main options are -
* TTP, big enough, food but future boom gates.
* Marion, big enough food nearby but future boom gates.
* GeppsX Homemaker. Pizza bar. Toilets. 1380 car parks total.
* Ingle Farm. Food. But unsure of room. Maybe.
* Colonnades. Plenty room. No food. No toilets. Not central.
* Seaford. Food but further away.
* Bunnings -All- don't know of any with food and they would struggle on size. AAMI Stadium has been suggested but is an open grasses area with no defined parks (outside not oval). Would probably need marshals to control. Which is currently not an option. This puts out ovals, parks, wharves or any other similar large open area not used regularly as a car park.
This may just be the last year its free. A small donation or entry may be required to hire a suitable venue next year. This may also be required to cover cleanup costs. It's not what I really want to do but it may also allow room to grow and improve. That won't be this year though.
There's still 2 months to go and there are options.
I'll let you all know.

66 Hertz:
will most likely go for a look...........getting to be a big event.
Joe 70:
Dale, I heard you need to get there early to avoid the line up to get in. A mate went last year and got there at 6pm and said the line up to get in to West lakes was over a kilometre long. If true, probably need to get there early, like around 4pm!
66 Hertz:
yes mate it usually is bedlam. Well in excess of a thousand cars all trying to get into the one carpark...unfortunatley it tends to attract more than a few Peanuts doing wheelies etc. Normally a very high Police presense
Joe 70:
Happy New Year Dale! Just wondering if you took any pics at all, or if anyone else may have posted some?
Found some here via another forum, but that's about all so far.
