Theres an awsome vineyard called Bloodwood Estates, you can only go by appointment though to sample and buy their wines.. (Well worth it though!!) Send me a PM if you want more info on this place.I used to live in orange for 13years of my life.. My dad used to manage the Parkview Hotel and a few other places..As for Roo's.. some people just have no idea... You wont see many of those if any at all.

Average fuel consumption 13.3L, etc...Most of the drive was actually boring as batsh*t, long straights with nothing to do but push the loud pedal Couldn't believe how many BA XR's I saw in Dubbo, shame none of the owners are on here...
