When we get to Bega, head North and turn off to Bermagui, then south to Tathra and Merimbula. Then continue as originally planned. These roads are nice and twisty, and have recently been resealed.BP Ultimate is available in Bermagui, Optimax as mentioned isn't available outside Canberra. Although Shell Premium 96 is available near Bermagui as well.Option2: Bypass Bega by heading down south to Candelo (taking the turn off after the Brown Mounain and Bemboka), then south east to Merimbula for lunch. This means less km's but will take the same time as the original plan due to the fun bits. There is BP Ultimate available in Merimbula, as well as Shell Premium 96.Option3: Leave it as it.Thoughts, opinions, etc.. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vote 2 then 3 then a very distant 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be up front (cause I'm the one guiding everyone), and someone with a powerful CB will be up back.Hi Ken Further details will be issued at the beginning of the day.
