Come through SA... join up our smallish SA convoy and then we are linking up with the VICs in Wagga... should have ourselves a mighty convoy by the time we reach Sydney! |

I wasn't going to go (hadn't even looked at it actually) but seeing as it only happens every 5 years, i think i will be going. me and my brother might be able to get the other mini licensed in time too. a trip across the nullabor in 2 minis sounds like fun

Hell yeah, my brother drove his Hillman Imp to Perth and back, in the 60s..
Musta been a slow trip.

FWIW a few WA guys came to Hay last year. Apparently It's dirt cheap to put your car on a train from Perth to Adelaide (but not back the other way). If you looked into that, it would get rid of one of the biggest stints of the trip - and probably increase your chances of actually making it!!

yeah, putting the mini on the train for part of the journey is a good idea. i was already thinking about that because according to http://www.whereis.com it is a 44 hour drive so it would probably take 3 days. That means i would have to take 3 days off work the week before the weekend and 3 days after. i would still like to drive the nullabor at some point though, so i could do that on the way back. accomodation will be another problem - I'm not sleeping in my mini! (i am about 6'4") should be able to sort something out though |
