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)
Before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you judge them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

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.

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.
Ain't nothin' like the wind in your hair.

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
