    S/E QLDERS traveling to the AFR on FRIDAY ONLY

    Ok ive spent the last few hours researching a route to Dubbo from SE/QLD here is what ive come up with. Feel free to add your opinions. We need to go by one of the quicker routes as its around 1000km in one day. Here is one way to go. Bris/Gold coast to Ballina, then across to Lismore, to Casino. Tenterfield would be next. Then off to Deepwater, then Glen Innes. Armidale is next, to Tamworth. To Gunadah. To Coonabaraban. To Dubbo.
    Ok here is the milage breakdown.
    Nerang to Ballina = 121km
    Ballina to Lismore = 31km
    Lismore to Casino = 32km
    Casino to Tenterfield = 127km
    Tenterfield to Deepwater = 52km
    Deepwater to Glen Innes = 42km
    Glen Innes to Armidale = 97km
    Armidale to Tamworth = 112km
    Tamworth to Gunnedah = 77km
    Gunnedah to Coonabaraban = 106km
    Coonabaraban to Dubbo = 143km and beer!
    = 940km
    With sensible fuel stops.
    What do you think.

    Cool mate... sounds like a plan.

    Hopefully there will be not too many coppers... Does this route put us through that speed camera laiden mountain range along pacific hwy?

    Cant wait for AFR...

    That looks good Oz, towns are close enough that fuel stops wont be an issue.

    Ozkat,
    Bohemian,
    Jakam04,
    Suxukifreak (in tin top),
    Evad, and
    Tony Nitrous.
    Supercharger and Robbie

    Is that correct? or is there others?

    The other option is ...
    Nerang to Warwick =181km
    Warwick to Inglewood = 109km
    Inglewood to Goondiwindi =87km
    Goondiwindi to Moree =142km
    Moree to Narrabri =101km
    Narrabri to Coonabarabran =120km
    Coonabarabran to Gilgandra =95km
    Gilgandra to Dubbo =66km
    = 901km
    Very straight roads and only a little shorter.

    I found out today if we go from Nerang to Bangalow then to Lismore/Casino we will save about 40km which will make it about the same distance as the 2nd option.

    Looks like a Friday ride down for me.

    Doc cant fix my arm so its a big bag of pain killers.
    Not been on a bike much since it played up and Brissy to the
    Gold Coast was an effort!!!

    Fingers crossed its on the Naked-02 if its finished,
    if not the Stock-04 bike's ready to go.
    Either way its on a Bike or not at all.

    Im hanging onto my licence by a thread so not sure if to
    ride with a group or cruise down on my own. Will think
    about it. Im a bit short of self control when I play with
    others.

    Will let you know what we decide.
    ...either way, to Dubbo on a bike is the only option.

    Tony.J.

    EDIT: Yeah, I used "whereis.com" and it came up with 921k's
    from Brissy. Similar to yours.

    This is also a list of the first blokes to hit the sack on Fridy night after a 900+k highway ride.
