air the tyres up 2-4 psi higher than you would normally have them.
check all fluid levels. Best way down is follow the big arsed highway ALL the way down.
depending on what time you're leaving, there are some good food stops along the way, especially in albury (but I tend to get there before they open).
If you dont take long trips regularly, then I *definitly* recommend a long stop at albury for food, coffee, a 10 minute walk and a lounge around thinking of nothing. there's a nice enough 24hr truck stop/diner/petrol station just on the sydney side of albury (I think it's the sydney side). This will stop you falling asleep (no matter how good you feel - do it!)
If you're used to long trips, you may want to do it all in 1 go.
how much oil and coolant to take along should depend on how reliable your car is, and how much oil/coolant it usually uses
