Sorry to hear that Mikey... what is the wheel damage. The suspension is well hidden in the car, the weak link will be the toe/chamber arm rather than the suspension. .... I found it the hardway. So I am pretty confident that your suspension will be fine.

Yeah, not looking real good there Mike. Sorry to hear about it and hope you get the evil twin fixed up real soon. I'll take you and little bro off the list. You'll be missed.

For everyone else, I'm about to update the first post with all the details of meetup points, etc, so check it out. Any problems, PM me or post them here.

Okay, first post updated with everything you should need to know.

Here's a map of the first meetup point (Mobil at Artarmon):

This may be a silly question but will there be any toll roads involved on this trip?

No, unless you need to cross the Harbour Bridge or want to use the M5, etc on the way back.

Haven't been through Nasho Park for ages. You used to have to pay if you intended to park in there but not if you were driving through. Don't know if that's changed or not, so have some gold coins with you.

I'll be going unless it's hailing. Up to everyone else to decide whether they want to go or not.

If it's pissing down at Wollongong on our arrival, we'll probably look for somewhere undercover to eat lunch or just brush it and head back again.

Sorry to railroad the tread but if that is what it takes to break the drought here in Melbourne let's organise a cruise ASAP.

Now back to the topic. Have fun peoples of NSW!

Heard on the radio this morning that Audley Weir is flooded. Hopefully there's not enough rain to flood it again on Sunday but we'll need to check and perhaps go into the Park a bit further down...

Noted thanks Matt.

I will try to find out if Audley Weir is still closed tomorrow morning but if I don't get a chance for some reason would be grateful if someone else could also check.

If that's the case, we'll enter the National Park at Waterfall instead and I will advise route at Waratah Park before departure.

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Don't let some rain scare you off - usually makes the run better because more people stay indoors.

PM sent.

Anyone else keen on KK Liverpool?
