cheaper to catch a plane to Coffs Harbour which is just north of Valla:thumb

VDUBXTC 路

71superbug 路

It costs close to $100 to get a cab my syd airport to my house (about 45mins away), so your looking at around the $500 mark is my ROUGH guess, and if your willing to pay that much i am sure you could find someone on the forum to take you for alot less. Offer to pay for someones petrol for the weekend and you may get a few offers.

(sorry i only have a two seater...maybe i should buy a kombi too)

U must have been in a LOW flying jet as ive been there 20 plus times and it always takes me about 7.5 hours....

Yes catch a plane to Sydney then catch another one to Coffs Harbour, then its about 40 minutes down the road.

winerot 路

it cost me $70 one day to catch a cab from coffs to my home 35 klm's north
if the sums are right $2 per klm at 600 klm's yep hitch a ride or a plane to coffs.

Or check out if any buses travel north from sydney through to valla/nambucca.

Dave, you need a bigger engine (1916 or something) :P

Gladesville or Willoughby to Nambucca, ever week for over 2 years, 5.5hrs, at the speed limit with crs ctrl. :thumb

Or hire a car at the airport?

PurpleT3 路

I'm with Jay, it would be alot cheaper to hire a car for a couple of days, plus you are mobile for the weekend while in Valla.

Alternatively, I'm sure if you start looking now, you could find somebody from Sydney who is driving to Valla who would be happy to give you a lift for petrol money. This way you are cruising in a dub and get to enjoy the comaraderie of the road trip.

Sorry Dave.

I forgot to factor in the 1.5hrs difference between sydney and newcastle. and i also fogot to factor in the neck breaking speed of a stock VW.

I run a 2ltr and sit on 100- 120 most of the way

71superbug 路

i cant hire a car as i am younger than 23...they dont hire cars to anyone under that. i already looked into that...was my first idea.
