Hi all,
First post here, so be gentle!! Great site and
forum, days and days of reading, pity I'm at work .....
Driving from Kalgoorlie to
Sydney this weekend, towing an enclosed race car trailer, want some thoughts.
Which is the best way to go once we reach
Port Augusta, either up through
Broken Hill-Dubbo-
Bathurst way or down through
Renmark-
Mildura-
Griffith-
Bathurst way.
Any information is appreciated.
Cheers, Glenn.

Go via the
Hill as the roads have less traffic and it is 110 kmph all the way to Dubbo.

G'day Glenn,
Go to www.travelmate.com.au and click on "map maker" you can get directions, distances and travel times as
well as a route map.
They suggest
Broken Hill - Dubbo -
Bathurst
Have a good trip.

Tend to agree with the others about going through BH.
If you do decide to go the other way (Pt Orgutta,
Clare,
Burra,
Morgan,
Renmark etc), then when you get to NSW, don't go thru
Griffith-
Bathurst etc (unless you have people to see in those towns etc). Instead, you'd continue on the Sturt Hwy past
Hay, Narrandera, Wagga Wagga, then onto the Hume Hwy to
Gundagai and onwards to Sydeneeee.
Have a safe trip and welcome to the greatest
forum on the web.
Cheers
Roachie

Thanks for the responses so far, I'd be keen to hear others thoughts as
well. BH way may be the way to go by the sounds of it.
Which way do all the East-West trucks go, anyone know?
Cheers, Glenn.

Via the
Hill.
Well that's how our drivers do it.

Not a drag car is it and have you been at the nationals in WA this week?

Hey D-Jack,
No, not a drag car, a Speedway Car (Litre Sprintcar), coming across to do a meeting at Parramatta City Raceway (PCR) on the 12/03/05 before
Easter, then at
Easter (26/03/05) our Australian Title is on.
Think the Drag Racing Nationals are on this weekend in
Perth?
Cheers, Glenn.

Yes I agree with the
Broken Hill option but DO NOT drive at night through that area as there is abundant wildlife on the road and can ruin your trip.
