Sounds quite good.. Might be up for that.

sounds great....post details as soon as you have them....need to budget to be able to come how far away from brizzy is that?

i used to live in surfers paradise and it used to take about 14 hours i think so grab all them queenslanders and cruise down ,will be finalising accommodation during the week so hope to see you here
dave:o:o

Sooty,
depending on how you want to get there is a big one.
If you can cruise fast there seems to be less traffic out on the Newell Hwy (the one out west), but its towns are a little further apart than on the New England (the one in the middle), and the Pacific, well its the busiest.
Personally, I prefer the Pacific for Bris to Syd. But if I had to go to Albury (I used to live in Canb and visit rellies in Holbrook, just north of Albury) from Bris and I wanted to go safely, I'd give about 16 hours stright driving. So two days. Thats just me though, I like to stop for the night in a bed, rather than in a tree. Davids one of 14 from the Coast to Albury is right, so just add on the hour or so from Bris to the Gold Coast.

I might be in for that too. Can't promise anything but if it falls in the holidays then I'd be a definate.

Grey57 - Dean, will you be going to this or what. You about my pace. You bring the amber, I'll bring the port and fire place.

Might be a good opportunity to get a free paint job for the Dog-O-War. I'll tape it up, you supply the paint David.

Sounds great! Long weekend can be bissy though. The Hotel is good .There is also a great back packers In Albury too very resonable prices and good digs the owner is a VW nut as well, he has a spliscreen phonebox and hubcaps everywhere.
Probably no secure parking though but probably good if you are on a buget

the phone is a bay window kombi and we have secure off street parking but apart from that you have done well
dave:o:o

how far is albury from wagga?
cheers
rhys

its 126km but if your coming from sydney its not that much further as you have to turn off the hume and go across to wagga any way so theres not much difference for sydney folk
sydney to wagga 465 km
sydney to albury 554 km
melb to albury 307 km
melb to wagga 430 km cheers david:o:o
