9fan Posted 25January, 2021 Report Share Posted 25January, 2021 Anyone in the PFA besides myself heading up from Melb to Wodonga in March for this Porsche event. I am looking for a small group to get together for some drives to go up and while up there, to link in with the activities ? Trip Up - looking at 400 km 5hr30m drive time with stop for mid morning break and lunch another 1hr15m. Leave time at 7am to get out of town before traffic should have us there at leisurely pace through scenic windy back roads before 3pm . Start point TBA to those nominating (maybe Nunawading) but want to keep it a reasonably small group. Cheers, Mark. Going - Mark, crsedge, Dalai AWX911 and Fishcop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcop Posted 26January, 2021 Report Share Posted 26January, 2021 I'll be coming from well north of Sydney... Not sure which way yet - if I stay on the freeway I'll be there in 11 hours, but it's duller than dogshit... Port 911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark, we will be coming over on the Thursday night boat, so getting in Friday morning, similar to my trip for C&C. Not sure my wife would appreciate that drive up from Lilydale though, so we may take a more direct route. However, happy to hear about any plans so we can discuss what may please the Boss!! The other Tassie guys coming over have, I believe, shopping plans for Friday before they come up later in the day. I'll suggest to Simon that we have breakfast at Duttons though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port 911 Posted 28January, 2021 Report Share Posted 28January, 2021 So it looks like we have not had many from the NSW contingent chime in yet. Is there anyone coming from NSW or are just the hard core guys from the Mid North Coast of NSW going. Love to hear what the travel plans are for any NS Welshman going to the event.

michel Posted 29January, 2021 Report Share Posted 29January, 2021 I liken this to the great migratory southern passages of the humpback as it passes down the east coast of Australia... because the journeys just as important as getting therre, those interested Could meet up at either Goulburn or Yass on way through . Some pleasurable roads to get there on without the inane boredom of the Hume Port 911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will PM with plan later. 🙃 Great - a back road drive but still relatively direct route would be wonderful. We moved to Melbourne from Sydney 5 years ago - and I look at these drives as both enjoyable and educational - the really sublime roads (and Victoria has many) I make a mental note of.

BRU Posted 31January, 2021 Report Share Posted 31January, 2021 What are everyone's thoughts on trying to create a big convoy with those heading from say Newcastle collecting those on central coast, collecting those in Sydney, collecting those on south coast/canberra, etc...?

Mark, we're probably looking to leave mid-morning given not sure what time the Spirit will arrive and off load. Perhaps there might be another group looking to head up later??
