    Well I am driving to dubbo from townsville in april, have spoken to a couple members who said they were keen to meet up along the way and cruise down together.

    Would like to get a list together and work out meeting points and see what other people's plans are so I can work out when to leave townsville etc.

    So whos keen!?

    Put up your name and where you're from and we'll work out where we can meet up and make the trip down lots of fun!

    1. Adamness - Townsville
    2. Leigh (ifonly...) - Townsville

    I'm keen too. Not sure if I'll be in Mackay or Rocky but both are along the way anyways so shouldn't matter too much :p

    We will be arriving at Goondiwindi around 8:30-9:00am Friday. What is your idea of mid morning Ash? It is supposed to be around 6.5 hours from Goondiwindi to Dubbo.

    Subject to availability - will have a definite answer shortly.... but


    If im not working, I'll leave thursday night then find somewhere to stay in goodiwindi. Any other zedders looking at leaving from brisbane? Should i go through warwick and down that way instead of west and down through toowoomba??

    We are staying at the Country Roads Motor Inn in Goondiwindi - leaving from Brisbane somewhere between 4-6pm on Thursday night.

    Haven't really thought much about which way we will go. The Hotel is on the cunningham highway so will most likely head down that way.

    I'll be leaving very early from sunny coast on friday morning to hopefully meet up with you guys (nasty girl, Karl, benny etc) in goondiwindi before you leave on fri morn, at a guess so far its going to take around 4+ hours to get there from sunny coast

    So Adam what is the proposed route? How long/far we looking at?

    Also, I've got a spare seat if anybody wants to share fuel costs/driving :)

    VERY Unfortunately I won't be going to zedfest :(

    I have been holding off until I was sure but its pretty certain now.

    A few factors combined:

    1. Money is tight
    2. Grandfather is very ill and may not make it through winter, I haven't seen him for a few years now so I would like to again before I lose the chance.
    3. Staff at my work is down to 4 people from 12 2 years ago. We have less work than we did then obviously but things are ridiculously busy still!

    Originally the plan was to go to Dubbo then drive to visit grandfather (about 6 hour drive I think) but I simply a) am tight on cash to do both and b) would feel bad for my co-workers to take that long off work!

    Leigh and Kevin from Townsville are still attending however I believe they are heading down a little earlier to be in Sydney on the Wednesday to go in the drags.

    I was going to be sharing my accomodation with Leigh and Kevin so they will still be staying in my room at the hotel

    Wish I could be there everyone :(:(:(

    There is always the years to come :) :zlove:

    Have a beer for me!!

    Cheers,

    Adam

    So here is my list of who I think is heading down to Dubbo from QLD..... please feel free to correct me if Im wrong.

    Trying to get an idea of when people are leaving so we can start organising where to meet and when.

    1. Nasty Girl - leaving from Brisbane Thursday arvo
    2. Magic Mike & Mrz Magic - leaving from Brisbane Thursday arvo
    3. Benny_C - to meet Brisbane crew in Toowoomb on Thursday night
    4. NVZ32 - leaving Sunshine Coast early Friday morning to meet at Gundy
    5. LadyZ - unconfirmed
    6. frysie - leaving Brisbane early Friday morning to meet at Gundy (maybe meet NVZ32 somewhere???)
    7. 90TTZ - leaving Dalby early Friday morning to meet at Gundy
    8. Adamness - coming from Townsville meet at Gundy on Thursday/Friday??

    Those staying at Goodoowindi on the Thursday night will be staying at the Country Roads motor inn which is right next door to the Maccas/BP servo so maybe we could make this the meet point for Friday morning??
