Caver Posted 18August, 2015 Report Share Posted 18August, 2015 Drivers! This is going to be good!The next PFA Australian Capital Targa (ACT) is in the planning stages. This is a 4 day event comprising a 2 day approach drive to Canberra via brilliant country roads. Meet our colleagues from Canberra and Melbourne, share stories, plan adventures, kick tyres. There’s plenty to see and do including the Australian War Memorial and for those who haven’t tired of driving, there are some great roads surrounding Canberra where you can stretch your legs. Bring your camera for a special photo shoot!I am seeking firm expressions of interest as we are pre-booking our accommodation. I can promise you that it will be top class and at a special discounted rate!Dates are: 31st March – 3rd April, 2016.Expect to pay $179 for the first night, including breakfast.Expect to pay $169 per night in Canberra including breakfast or $139 per night excluding breakfast.Some drivers choose to share rooms, so please let me know if you wish to do so when responding. W.A.G.s are welcome.For those who attended last year, I hope to introduce some changes to the route to avoid some nasty road works west of the Blue Mountains.There are plenty of options for anyone who wish to participate in the approach drive only, day 1 only or day 2 only or directly to Canberra only.Day one is approximately 400kms, day two is around 300kms. Both days have plenty of stops for coffee, lunch and views.Happy to discuss all options with you, but please keep route/accommodation details out of the public forum.Depending upon responses, participation may be limited.RegardsDavid.

They won't notice that the car is missing from the garage will they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJM Posted 18August, 2015 Report Share Posted 18August, 2015 I can not recommend this highly enough.The driving alone is worth the price of admission but meeting up with everyone in Canberra & swapping yarns (well listening to Niko's anyway) was fantastic last year. If I could do this I would but I will be in QLD when it's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboT Posted 30December, 2015 Report Share Posted 30December, 2015 Just found this thread. Wife would kill me with a four day leave pass, but have been wanting to have a Canberra run forever. Could possibly cut out the gentlemanly runs and turn this into a day-night- back next next thing, hopefully meeting you guys at some point for the run into Canberra. Also keen on seeing Michaels workshop. Could probably drag down a few other time poor soles, and now I know Billy's not coming, we should be accident free aswell no issue if too late, but PM me with details if you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: KGB could come up with the rest of the Victoria boys. As for Michel's sausage I wouldn't be touching that except for tongs and to stab with a fork to let the fat run out.....

Panzerjager Posted 31December, 2015 Report Share Posted 31December, 2015 "I wouldn't be touching that except for tongs and to stab with a fork to let the fat run out....." Geeze Peter this conversation went real ugly, real early I look forward to catching up with everyone again and I have a few ideas for the usual Saturday morning run route & the afternoon photo-shoot location, so I suppose I had better get our Kollektiv brains trust together to see what interesting locations we can come up with for the 2016 extravaganza.Cheers,Panzerjager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
