Haha damn I can't make this one either! My friends and I have already organised to have a massive BBQ like we normally do, chilling out, eating kangaroo, drinking beers, having a swim, and (most importantly!) listening to the Hottest 100 on JJJ.

Though I'd gladly drive up on the Saturday and stay the night, then drive back Sunday, if that fits in.

was just looking at Google maps, as i said, im happy to come up for either night (maybe both if we can get cheap accommodation) although it would work well for me on Sunday night, i could stay with family in Sydney for Saturday.

We're out, saving for a house, and I would be stuffed after driving 10hours down and back again over a weekend...Sorry

Cheers
Marc

I voted for a Sunday Lunch/Cruise somewhere on the Wharf area...

I'd be thinking of driving up to the area on the Saturday staying overnight, being up and awake for the Meet etc on Sunday.
Then Sunday arvo/evening heading back to Canberra.

If we meet at 10-ish do a short cruise to wherever we can eat, then look at cars some more and are done by 3-ish it all works out well.

Thoughts?

Sydney Folk?

I've stuck a post up in the ACT section for planning the Canberra contingent for this cruise... Early days but gotta start...
http://www.astinagt.com/forums/showt...448#post180448

Would a Sydney side like to take on the role of coordinating similar meet point ideas etc?

Anyone coming from North or Western areas should also step up?

I find the drive along the New England HWY is worth the travel. Lots of great scenery (and plenty of mediocre boring stuff too ). I like the volcanic rock landscape somewhere around the Guyra Range. There's a big prawn and small Triceratops on the round trip too.

The Triceratops (I think it's one of those) is on the New England HWY. But you have to do the round trip to see it and the prawn, ie: NE HWY southbound and Pacific HWY northbound, for instance. Oh, there is the Big Banana at Coffs Harbour too.
