Ok looks like I'll be putting my hand up to organise Canberra and Sydney meeting points.

There will probably be a need for two seperate groups as some people are unable to get the Friday off work:

Group #1:

Meet at Berowra, at the Old Toll Gates. Say at 12:00pm for a 12:30pm sharp get away.

This will enable us to avoid peak hour traffic. We will cruise up the Pacific, and will take a break every now and again when we find a decent rest area. This information will be relayed over UHF CB.

I anticipate arriving at the hotel by 6pm. This means we can check in and be having our dinner and drinks by 7pm. Also allows us to get a good night sleep for a couple of long days a head.

Group #2:

Meet at Berowra Old Toll Gates at 7:00pm for a 7:30PM sharp get away.

This enables most to get home, pack the car and get to the toll gates in Friday night traffic. By 7pm the traffic up north should subside and we should have a good run up. We will cruise up, and will take a break every now and again when we find a decent rest area. This information will be relayed over UHF CB.

I anticipate arriving at the hotel by midnight.

This still allows us to have a decent nights sleep as we don't have to be in our cars till 9am the next morning.

For the Canberrians:

People wanting to join onto Group #1: Meet at the Shell Gateway at 8:00am for an 8:30am get away. This will allow plenty of time for a drive to Sydney with a smoko stop and a lunch stop in Sydney.

People wanting to join onto Group #2: Meet at the Shell Gateway at 2:00pm.

This will allow plenty of time for a drive to Sydney, and a drive through Sydney Peak hour traffic to get to the toll gates. This will also allow a dinner stop somewhere along the way.

Also people will need UHF CB Radio's for the weekend.

If you don't have one, or a low powered one you have a fun time getting lost from the group.

I can get them fairly cheap for you guys. I have a good deal with the local communications store in Canberra.

Most people have the Uniden UH-044Xr which is a 2watt hand held. This would be the mininum that should be on a cruise. I can get these at $140 each. There are a few accessories like chargers, speakers/mics, etc that are optional at extra cost of course. This will give you about 3 - 5kms range.

Another top radio is the Uniden UH-075 which is a 5watt hand held. This has the benefit of longer range, and the fact you can attach an external aerial to it.

I can get these for $330. There are a few accessories for extra cost. This will give you about 5 - 8kms range

If you want an in-car setup, get the Uniden UH-013 (5watt) with remote face coupled with a 6db aerial. This will give you about 30kms range.

I can get these for $380 + $80 for aerial + about $50 for cabling.
