The Ford Discovery Centre in Geelong has been nominated as one of Victoria’s Top 101 Tourism Experiences. Ford fans are able to vote by going HERE and clicking on the Ford Discovery Centre link on the main page.
If the Discovery Centre finishes in the top-ten it will feature as part of a one hour prime time special on Channel Nine’s Postcards Program - the more votes it receives, the more likely it will feature on the show. Let's help get it to number one! Let's show the power that a dedicated group like this forum can provide. As of this morning the Discovery Centre is sitting 4th in the overall voting which is an excellent finish but let's see what we can do to move it up the order. Cheers Russ

up to number 2 spot now behind the great ocean road. thats a pretty good effort.
i havent been there yet (my last/only visit to Vic was way back in `89 ) so when i do get to go there it had better be good ...... because i have paid my complements in advance.

Just voted for the Discovery Centre. I did notice that the Discovery Centre has a star rating of 4.68 compared to the great ocean road which is sitting at 4.47, so the Discovery Centre might be number one tomorrow.

I voted a while ago, although I did recently pay the FDC a visit, damn there's some fine history in there
I didn't want to leave!The only disappointing thing was that there was a cut-open XB GS on display, reminded me of the recent fires... |
