BRU Posted 31January, 2021 Report Share Posted 31January, 2021 Attn: All those heading to Luftwasser from NSW, and/or keen to join in for the drive down on Friday March 5th. I'm starting this thread in an attempt to create a single source of truth for the various pockets of drivers coming into Luftwasser from different areas in NSW... edit (26/2): see below posts for detail of any convoys, I think most arrangements have been made offline or via the Discord chat. Post a reply here if you're keen to meet up but not sure where to head. For those coming from in and around Sydney on Friday... I'll be meeting a few at Bunnings Crossroads at 7:30am for an 8am departure, then heading to Jugiong via Goulburn, Crookwell and Boorowa, arriving at Jugiong at 12:30ish for lunch where we'll meet up with @Port 911 and crew and head on to Wodonga via some nice B roads... let me know if you plan to join us at Bunnings so I know to keep an eye out for you.. edit (4/3): Confirmed final meeting place as Bunnings Casula (Crossroads) car park, 7:30am for an 8am sharp departure. Please arrive fully fuelled and ready to roll. First stop will be @MFX's place in Bowral around 9am, then onto Crookwell. Bring a CB radio if you have one. My mobile is ZeroFour24600759 in need.

I'm starting this thread in an attempt to create a single source of truth for the various pockets of drivers coming into Luftwasser from different areas in NSW, with a view to trying to get a convoy together for those that can make it. The idea will be to identify a route, meeting points and time windows for those that want to join. Don't feel like you have to travel with this group, but feel free to jump on the bandwagon if you prefer. Let me know if a convoy is something of interest. I will aim to update this as I get more info and we get closer to the date. So far I am loosely aware of the following broad groupings of those joining from NSW, from furthest away to closest based on rough google map timings, depending on chosen route, stops etc. In terms of when we can expect to arrive in Wodonga we'll also need to consider how long it may take to get across the border. Far north NSW coast group 10-12 hours to event. Coordination lead:(me @Port 911 Likely meeting point TBC Time 6.30 - 7.00 am can be adjusted to try and meet up with others further down the line, within reason. Route TBC Newcastle group 7-9 hours Coordination lead: TBC (Carlos?) Likely meeting point TBC Time TBC Route TBC Sydney group 5-7 hours Coordination lead: Adam (me, @BRU) Likely meeting point Crossroads Bunnings Time TBC Route TBC Canberra group 3.5 - 5.5 hours Coordination lead @michel (TBC, is that OK?) Potential meeting point, Goulburn or Yass Time TBC Route Are there any other groups to represent? Who can be on point for coordinating each group? I'm happy to take coordination lead across all groups. We'll figure out route and times etc, but in the meantime any key other things to consider?

Should make it easier to meet up with others on the Friday . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRU Posted 10February, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 10February, 2021 Cool, that does make it easier. We’ll probably be heading through mittagong around 10- 10:30.. we’re aiming to meet a few guys at Bunnings Crossroads then head down to meet up with the rest at Jugiong. Thinking about heading to jugiong via crookwell from goulburn then onto boorowa and to jugiong if you’re interested in joining that loop.. prob be at goulburn by 11. Otherwise we’ll probably just meet you at jugiong. Port 911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishcop Posted 11February, 2021 Report Share Posted 11February, 2021 Ironically, I think I'll be working out of Tumut the week leading in - I am negotiating with work to cover my costs and driving myself down from Port Mac in the 911 that week. Won't know for sure until late next week, but best to count me out of the road trip to the South at this stage. Port 911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By moving everything forward an hour is will just help lessen the chances of any encounters with wild life as we get closer to our destination. So Lunch at Jugiong would be between 12:30 to 1:30pm. Then some back roads from there to boarder. Feel free to chime in so we know to keep an eye out for you. Cheers Rick aka Port911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishcop Posted 1March, 2021 Report Share Posted 1March, 2021 What route are you taking from Jugiong? If you come in east at Gundagai up through Tumut, Batlow and Tumbarumba and then across to Albury - the driving is a treat and only about an extra hour over the Hume. sjoerd and Port 911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjoerd Posted 1March, 2021 Report Share Posted 1March, 2021 Hi all... hope you're all showing up in force on Friday from NSW... Has anyone looked at the VIC border crossing requirements in regard to COVID? Am I interpreting it right that we need to apply for this border entry permit thingy?

Yes, you’ll need a permit. You need it printed too so plan ahead 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcop Posted 1March, 2021 Report Share Posted 1March, 2021 FWIW I was working the border area between Eden and Mallacoota last fortnight and there were no road blocks, police or impediments to skipping back and forth... just had to have a copy of the pass if asked. NSW has committed to not closing the border and Victoria is beginning to relax - touch wood it should all be okay. The only thing we'll notice is the mask requirements - still pretty strict and unfamiliar to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
