    If I can't find any reason it's been closed, I'm gonna go for a recon mission this weekend. I need a good drive ATM, some things to ponder....

    Its all good man, we must share the same sense of humour, i was thinking something way more sus than what it sounds. haha its all good, did you end up going down? I'd be keen to come down for a drive, maybe not this weekend now, cause im going to be hungover tomorrow lol.

    either way, if your not going down next weekend, ill just have to wait till july till we go down. Keep us posted eh

    Wicked find their Greg. Yeah they've issued more severe weather warning for SE Qld and Northern NSW, so a drive right now is probably out of the question.

    You can get a good feel for it on google earth too, and turn the profile over a bit so you can see the mountains etc. There's a lot of low level bridges just out of rathdowney at the start, and I reckon there will be water over the road at present. Be good mid week though.

    Haven't been yet, awaiting the rain to stop. I drove Nebo Glorious normally on sunday and it was rather slippery!

    I'm good to do this drive on Sunday 5th July. I'll update my first post.


    Can anyone tell me of the etiquette regarding a new thread as a confirmed drive? Is that ok, or best to keep this thread going?
