Offical Broke Cruise 21/8/05	Wed, 18 May 2005 09:40

When: Sun 21st August 9:00 AM Where: ETTAMOGAH PUB cnr Windsor Rd and Merriville rd, Rouse Hill (opposite woolies petrol plus and Macca's) Destination: Up Putty rd, BBQ lunch at Broke. THIS IS A MODERATELY LONG CRUISE, AROUND 350KMS, SO MAKE SURE YOU ARRIVE AT THE FIRST MEETING POINT WITH A FULL TANK OF PETROL!!!!!!! Basic Outline 9:00AM. Meet at the Ettamogah pub. 9:30AM. Start heading north up Windsor rd, to Windsor(!), where we're gonna make our first stop. Instead of turning left & heading in to Windsor, we go straight ahead through a set of lights, up a little hill with a roundabout at the top, over & down to a little bridge, just after which is a park. TURN LEFT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BRIDGE INTO MAQUARIE PARK. 10:00AM. We can regroup &/or meet up with anyone who lives out this way before we hit Putty rd. 10:15AM. Leave Macquarie Park, continue north up Wilberforce rd which becomes Putty rd. Pending traffic conditions, there are quite a few large sized truck stops along the way, so if a regroup is necessary it won't be too hard. Otherwise we continue along until... 11:50AM. there's a halfway house/small petrol station about 15mins after we pass Putty Valley rd, we'll stop here for a regroup & a quick bite if needed. We don't need to hang 'round here too long though. 12:00PM. Continue north. There's a nice mountainous section here too, with some nice longish hairpins. Keep an eye out for road on the right, it's the only one & we should hit it around 12:30PM. After about 15-20 minutes along this road we reach Broke. The area we're stopping at for lunch is down a narrow & slightly bumpy gravel road, just before the T intersection at the end of this road. Theres a really nice lunch area with all the nessecities & we'll also have our own BBQ, with sausage sandwiches & cans of soft drink for sale. Prices will be MEMBERS: $1 Drinks, $2 Sausage Sandwiches, NON-MEMBERS: $1 Drinks, $2.50 sausage sandwiches We'll try to head off around 2:00PM. Head east along Broke rd into the Lower Hunter Valley. When we get to a T intersection we go RIGHT, and follow this road down into Cessnock. 2:30PM. We get to another T intersection & turn LEFT, then after about 1-2mins we turn right at an intersection with 2 big old pubs, & head up the main st of Cessnock! We'll have a stop on the way out of Cessnock, there's a servo or two we'll stop at for drinks or whatever. 3:00PM. Say goodbye to Cessnock, & simply follow the signs to the F1 and Sydney. There's the big Caltex we can stop at if we need to, otherwise we should be back in local territory by 4:30- 5 o'clock. Once we get to the end of the freeway, follow Pennant Hills rd south to everyones favorite location for dinner- Thornleigh Maccas! I should be able to supply maps on the day, & will hopefully be able to hand out written directions too. The usual channel 16 on the CBs, these are invaluable & don't forget your cameras! If anyone has any questions or suggestions, let me know. And thanks to Joel and Stitt for the original plans for this cruise . Cheers Craig.
