The fyshwick shell one is a great meeting place for Canberran and sydney sider. It's basically on the way and it's reasonably central for most of Canberra. You can actually see it from the monaro hwy I had a run on the cottor today. It basically adds 55 minutes to the trip. I think that it may end up being a little hard for the Sydney drivers, since getting to Canberra is about 2 1/2 hours and to Jyndabyne from Canberra is about 2 hours. Adding another hour may be too much for Sydney siders to handle. However what do Canberra drivers think of maybe having a little drive before meeting up with the Sydney drivers. Maybe do the cottor, go to Tindbinbilla tracking station for an hour or so to have a feed and a look at the latest rover propoganda then go to Fyshwick to meet up with the Sydney T drivers. I'm thinking this may be a good idea, since the Sydney drivers will be in Canberra at about 3:30pm or thereabouts.OK the way I went..Started Mt Ainslie went down Anzac Parade, then right onto Parkes Way which then goes into the Tuggeranong Pwy.Cottor Rd 12 min 15.4kmCottor Dam 27min 29.7kmTidbinbilla Tracking Station 43min 47.7kmPoint Hut xing 58min 68.6kmMonaro hwy 1hr 05min 75.2kmMajura Drive 1hr 18min 92.7kmThe road works on cottor road are ongoing. They have fixed (put a new bridge in) the small bridge at the burnt down hotel part near the dam. There is one area that goes down to 40km/h and then the wait to go along one lane. Other than the odd rough patch, the road is ok I guess with 100km/h speed limit most of the way. I swear that I saw atleast 50 or so motor bikes making the cottor trek today.

For those with Caltex/Ampol cards there's on of those att eh airport, and a unfortunately BP card holders will need to deah into the City.A.
