South Aus Cruise to Bonfire 2017
Righto folks. Time to plan our route for 2017.
Phil has suggested that he would like to do an inland journey over to Sydney and maybe stay there a night or two. I personally (and Kiz) have agreed that we'd like to get to Dwayne's on the Friday to break up the driving too. Would be nice to take the drive a touch more leisurely, without being unduly slow.
I'm definitely going no matter which way we take. Drop your thoughts below.

Re: South Aus Cruise to Bonfire 2017
Because I'm bored as hell and there's still a half hour before work...
Dunno what you had in mind for the getting there, Phil, but as an extended trip there, could do:
Monday 27th: Adelaide/Pirie -> Broken Hill
Tuesday 28th: Broken Hill -> Dubbo (?)
Wednesday 29th: Dubbo -> Sydney
Thursday 30th: Day in Sydney (?)
Friday 31st: Sydney -> Dwayne's
Saturday 1st: Bonfire
Sunday 2nd: Dwayne's -> (?)
Shortening possible by getting to Sydney in two days, or spending only one night in Sydney, or both.

I'll have a look at Google maps when I get home, but that looks pretty agreeable to me.

I have been reading the forum, but not much happens for me to login.
I have my annual leave approved.
Just hoping I have enough money.
Are you going Kiz?

Re: South Aus Cruise to Bonfire 2017
I did that last year. But this year that would involve flying sometime Friday evening/Saturday morning. Someone picking me up, then someone dropping me off at the airport Sunday evening to be home for Monday morning.Vectose wrote:Flykiz wrote:Yea fucked if I know with uni ey.

And as it stands today, I've been informed my request to not attend tutorial on these days is not granted, therefore failure to attend may result in failure of topics

Could always catch the Sydney-siders, then even the same on Sunday if anyone is willing, or Phil or I on the Sunday?

Re: South Aus Cruise to Bonfire 2017
Sorry, I won't be going this year. Have no cash and my parents are coming for a couple of weeks to help me do some important work around the house. I have to install retaining walls and drainage around the house to stop winter rains from flooding the foundations.

Heck it might be at this rate. Steven on the fb group was kinda keen the last I spoke to him but far from definite.vipfto wrote:Bjk solo trip?
