Would love to be able to go.

We have a record number of people making the trip from W.A.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

waiting for new information for the organisers... no further details on any of the events as yet, including the 2 day tour post NatMeet, makes planning the trip to see Tassy after NatMeet a bit challenging...

And yes I'm one of those making the trip from Perth

Great, see you there. :)

I'm not doing any track events this time.

We're taking 3 days to do BN - ML via back roads, the Snowy and Gippsland.

We're doing the guided run LN - HB post NatMeet - I believe this will be following some Targa routes. Then spending about a week driving the roads as we work our way clockwise from HB to DV to catch the boat back to ML. Then a pretty straight run back to BN. Should be about 20 days all up for us.

I know some people take the concourse seriously but this is a little over the top! :shock: :mrgreen:

Try Leo's Spaghetti Bar on Fitzroy Street - great range of Italian pasta dishes and reasonably priced.

Enjoy the ferry ride :D
