Now that I'm a definite starter, I thought we may as well have a thread for the NSW attendees to coordinate things like a convoy down and back (for those interested) and any other NSW-centric issues.
Please indicate your interest in convoying down and/or back and we'll set something up.
Would the organisers kindly post a list of the NSW entrants once entries are closed.
For those NSW people who are interested but haven't entered yet, I understand there's still some track spots left, so don't delay any longer.
If you have any other NSW issues to raise, do it here please.

Are there any Cane Toads meeting up with us to join the convoy?

Looking forward to it. Stupidly am flying back from sunny Melb just to drive down and then fly back on the Wednesday following. God we live silly lives!!!

I think there are some Qlders yes, who of course are welcome to join us if it suits their itinerary. I'll post an invitation in the main discussion thread.
What time you guys planning on landing in Benalla? Friday is practise day at winton so you can come down and watch/have a squiz at the track 1st if you get there early enough, else head down to the cabins and I will see you there.
Cheers
Andrew

We'll probably get there about mid-afternoon I'd say. Haven't discussed it with the troops but I'm in favour of heading straight to the track for a look see and then we'll head for the accommodation once practice is over.
Okay, have dug out the details of the meet up point for those who don't know where it is:
It is a designated rest area on the Hume Highway south of Sydney called the Frank Partridge VC Rest Area.
It is located 36.4kms south of the M5 Toll Plaza (in other words, as you're going through the toll booths on the M5, hit your trip meter and when 36 is coming up look for the blue exit signs - it's hard to miss).
The GPS coordinates are S34°09.423' E150°44.340' for those who want to check that out.
The advantage of this place is that it's en route for just about everybody from NSW and QLD and the interstaters from QLD don't have to leave any main roads to find it. It's got plenty of room, decent toilets and provides an easy place to wait as the clan gathers.
I favour a 7.00am meet for 7.15am departure (which allows us to get there before peak hour starts on the Friday morning). If that's too early or too late, speak now or forever hold your peace.
Suggest everybody who is coming PM's me their mobile phone numbers so I can do a last minute ring around for anybody running late (I have Len and MikeyR's numbers).
