FTO AUSTRALIA

All,
We are considering running a national cruise sometime next year to Jindabyne. At this stage I'd like to gauge some interest & comments. Please have a vote on the front page of the forum And have a chat on this thread.
It would be a weekend stayover.

Cheers,
Ben

Its in the snowy mountains in NSW. 6 hrs from VIC, 6 hrs from Syd

sounds awesome

but it all comes down to timing and $$$ (damn petrol prices) lol

but hella interested

yeah sounds good..I planed to go there before but never actually did...would be nice for a 2-3-4 day trip

I'm in for sure!

Jindabyne is a pefect spot....beautiful lake and roads that are just a pure pleasure to drive on.

Bring on the mountains I say!!

Hehe, and if any ACT members say "It's too far away"....I'll slap you!

How about Townsville, North Queensland members!?! I think my "It's too far" excuse is well and truly viable!

hehe.....cant be late for this meeting then........

would be extreamly imposiable to catch up this time...

Hey bucket,
How far from ACT is it? (in case my car IS on the road )
And what's the roads like to get there? (I don't take my car over bumpy roads)

Sounds really good........hopefully we get a few more definites this time!

Now is that 6 hours VIC at 110km/h or 192km/h for those with speed delimiters?

Its a fairly major road. Takes all the snow traffic from Canberra and Sydney. The road goes through Cooma.

Jindabyne is about 2 hrs drive from Canberra. Map below shows Jindabyne and Cooma. Click next map at top and right to follow road to Canberra.

Well i guess u just have to take the trip & find out??

These things are always date dependent.
And as soon as you set a date, at least a third of the ppl who want to go can't

But until then, i'm in.
Looks like an awsome run
And mell is definately going to want to make the meet time

I wont be going on the trip. But I'll join for a small part of the cruise.

Spetz, it's almost primarily highway driving up to Jindy from ACT. Dwayne is right in that it's about 2 hours (I've done it in less but that's all I'll say about that) and isn't the most exciting trip untill you get right near Jindabyne, then it's all twisty smooth tarmac.

How about Townsville, North Queensland members!?! I think my "It's too far" excuse is well and truly viable!

Hehe, you should come down anyway! Show off your car to me

Heh, I'll make time! My only problem is getting my car back on the road in time.


I can tell you that the roads right next to Jindy are just jaw dropping fun.....you've got Charlottes Pass and Thredbo near by and the roads there are sooo much fun.

i love national cruise but i don't like the idea of six hours drive especially with my baby, i don't like to ride her for that long continuiously

You saying her internals ain't up for it Akuma!?! Wait... We're talking about FTO's still right???

I have done all day cruises (and I'm sure many other people here have too) at fast pace in our cars and there's not been any problems.

That 6 hours will most likely be highway driving too!

Cars are design to be driven, & not sitting in the garage
