Re: ToyNats 2005 - WA Trek	Wed, 14 April 2004 13:26

They're talking about places to sleep on the way there and back. As for that, I'm not sure, but I'm sure there are oodles of ppl out there (like Clint) you have made the journey and are happy to give out info. As for making a trip of it, I was thinking, leave Sat morn (weekend before Easter) take 3 or so days to drive to Sydney, spend a few days sight seeing. Then head to Dubbo on Friday morning with the rest of the Sydney Toymodders. Do the Toynats thing until monday, and then head off. Whether we go back to Sydney, over to Melbourne, up to Brisbane, home via Alice Springs is something we can decide as the date gets closer. But either way I would be taking 2 weeks off work, leave on Saturday morn before Easter, and getting back either Saturday or Sunday after Easter. This also has the benefit of having to only take off 8 days instead of 10. So maybe we leave a day early, and get back a day later and take the full 10 days? You knows, this is just and EOI. As I said, Nathan and I WILL be making this journey next year, regardless of others, but as the saying goes, "The More The Merrier." Everyone just needs a 2 way radio (which we can purchase from The Witzl) Oh, and Adam, I dont think we'll hit any open speed limit roads unless we go further into NT. But that said, if you don't max out your car at least once across the Nullabor, you need bigger balls. As for costs, the trip there and back (to Dubbo via Sydney) would be about 10000km (give or take sight seeing), so at an average of $1 per litre, and a cars cruising avg of 10L/100km, thats $1000 just for fuel there and back. Dubbo accomodation is $90 per double/triple per night ToyNats is $65 from memory Then you have accomodation there and back, and while not at Dubbo, so you decide there, but I'd assume it would be about the same as Dubbo if we stayed in Motels, and even less if we braved it in tents So I'd estimate a good $2000ish for a comfy 2 week journey per car. But remember, you have a friend/partner with you. I'd don't think we'd let anyone drive over by themselves. But as I said above, "The More The Merrier." EDIT: I got my figures a little better this time [Updated on: Fri, 16 April 2004 13:49] [Report message to a moderator]
