For accomodation in Hay follow the link below and mention that your part of the nationals convoy on your way to Orange and you may get a slightly cheaper rate.

Option one looks good to me, we'll be leaving a day earlier though.

We will be travelling in the second group and we'll meet you at Mt Barker interchange as I assume you are going via Pinnaroo from the distance you have quoted.

The sticker says "I'd rather push my Ford than drive a Holden". I agree, I'd rather they pushed their Ford than drive MY Holdens!

At this stage I will be heading over to nsw a few days early for the nats. 

I've made the trip from adelaide over to wagga a few times with modern cars and we nearly always go via pinnaroo.  Its a bit shorter and often less traffic.

With an untested FC i'm thinking about going via the riverland for the nats.  I seem to remember there is more towns / mechanic shops etc via the riverland. 

cheers

If your going on the Stuart Highway you'll end up in Darwin.

Suggest you turn right and follow the Sturt Highway.

Can't have you ex-Sand Gropers losing you way ..... but then again...  ;D

Martin,
Thanks, was trying to beat Surferboy for the longest distance travelled might have been a little hard to do in two days.
