Re: Sydney to Brisbane
Hi Scot,
Yes, that would be great thanks. We still haven't any firm plans as to where we going to be on what day so the more ideas I have the better. The more suggestions I can come up with for things to do the more chance I've got of avoiding being dragged around the shopping centres in the nearest town.
Thanks,
--- Paul

Re: Sydney to Brisbane
Hi Jamie, Kev,
quote: If you are going to be in Brisbane on the 28th, why not join us on the trip to O'Rielly's with Revhead Kev
Strangely enough our original plan had us in Brisbane on the 28th and I was wondering what we could do in Brisbane on a Sunday. Was considering changing the plans to arrive on the Monday instead but I think you've just solved the problem. Will have to check with the other half but assuming permission is granted then I'd love to tag along.

Re: Sydney to Brisbane
There's a road going west out of Kempsey thru the mountains and finishing up near Ebor Falls on the road between Armidale and Urunga/Coffs Harbour. I've driven the road about 4 times in/on various vehicles.
Drive west out of Kempsey about 55km to Bellbrook. The whole trip from Kempsey to Ebor is 175km - so you can drive on west to Armidale (another 80km) or turn right and head back down the bitumen to the coast at Urunga via Dorrigo and Bellingen (90km). It's 90km from Urunga to Kempsey.
It's bitumen from Kempsey to Bellbrook, then it's dirt all the way almost to Ebor. From Bellbrook the road follows the river as it climbs upwards - long drop down to the river, spectacular views. You could do it in the opposite direction to appreciate the views.
Dorrigo has a rainforest boardwalk, and a nice little town with cafes. Ebor Falls are always worth the look.
Check out Google Earth, type in Bellbrook NSW, and follow the road westward along the river into the mountains - might whet your appetite.
cheers
