After a memorable lunch at The Barn in the Yarra Valley, we continued our journey through some of Victoria's most picturesque roads, surrounded by stunning autumn colours and endless scenic vistas.

By late afternoon, we arrived at Peppers Marysville, our home for the evening. Nestled amongst the mountains and vibrant autumn foliage, it was the perfect place to unwind after a day on the road. As the cars were parked and the stories began to flow, participants had the chance to relax, explore the surrounds and enjoy the company that makes The Great Escape so special.

The evening culminated with a fantastic group dinner, where great food, plenty of laughs and conversations about cars, travel and life filled the room. It was one of those nights that perfectly captured the spirit of The Great Escape — bringing together passionate enthusiasts, creating new friendships and making memories that will last long after the final kilometres have been driven.

We kicked things off in true Marque style at our Moorabbin headquarters, with a car park full of excited entrants, fresh coffee flowing, and an incredible lineup of machinery ready for four days of adventure. After collecting their exclusive Great Escape goodie bags and a quick briefing, it was time to hit the road.

Our first destination was the stunning Yarra Valley, where participants enjoyed a memorable lunch at The Barn at Stones before continuing through some of Victoria's most picturesque roads. With autumn colours in full display, the drive through the Yarra Ranges and into Marysville provided the perfect backdrop for what was shaping up to be a very special weekend.

As always, the stops along the way became just as memorable as the driving itself — a chance to catch up with old friends, make new ones, and admire a diverse collection of cars ranging from modern performance machines to weekend toys and future classics. By the time we arrived in Marysville, the convoy had already created countless memories, and the best was still to come.
