Cro Flower Power Lifetime Members 6,114 Member For: 22y 12d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 30/07/06 09:49 AM Share Posted 30/07/06 09:49 AM It's been a while since there has been an ACT / SE NSW Cruise, and I've been promising to do this one for a while now so here it goes!Canberra - Cooma - Bega - Tathra - Bermagui - Moruya - Batemans Bay - Braidwood - CanberraWhen: Meet @ Caltex Petrol Station - Hume on the Monaro Hwy. 9am Sunday 24th September 2006Note: No Vortex98 here.We will be leaving @ 9:30am sharp for the drive down to Tathra via Cooma, Brown Mountain & Bega.Once through Tathra the fun continues as we head North to Bermagui via some very tight and twisty roads.The trip will eventually see us on the Princess Highway which we will follow till just after Narooma where we turn off to head through Kiangra and Dalmeny, and get back on the highway.One into Moruya we will be turning off to head through Broulee, Malua Bay, and into Batemans Bay.Then we run home up the legendary Clyde Mountain.This is designed as a Canberra / SE NSW Cruise, however if enough Sydney siders want to join up I'll look into some form of accomodation for the Saturday night (I'll need it myself anyway).What to bring?Fuel $$ (will probably need 1.25 - 1.5 tanks)Lunch (if you're not buying at the top along the way)CB Radio (will make the experience safer and more enjoyable with all the inane chatter that goes on).Warnings:*This is a 6 - 7 hour drive (550kms), so beware if you don't feel like driving for that long. *If you are after Optimax specifically you better fill up in Canberra and refil at Batemans Bay.*People wanting to use BP Ultimate will be fine. There is Ultimate in Canberra, Cooma, Bega, Bermagui.These details are only prelimanary, as I haven't traveled this route in about a year. In the next 3 - 4 weeks I'll be going through this route and will update this section as required.So who is coming along?Cro AntisocialRAP1DMaybe4runnerIconic BionicharvykPhils XMdat_40l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Cyric Just sit back and enjoy the ride...!

I'll think about the fun you'll be having while I'm doing a tour of NASA's Johnson Space Center."Houston, we have a problem! Some FFB from Oz just hijacked the space shuttle..."

Did it a couple of weeks ago and it was one of THE best runs I've done in a fair while, just watch out for the constabulary between Canberra and Cooma, it's a damn shame to as there nice open curves that are perfect for opening up on.Hrmm it's only 7 hours from here to Canberra....

Coming up Brown Mountain is great so far I have had 2 SS's pull over. I'll keep my eye on the Snowy Run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
