Hey all,
We've got a big trip planned for Toyota Fest 2010, so I'm going to get in early with the planning. It's going to be a longer trip than our previous one, taking in more states and more places. And no, I'm not bailing this time

Initial plans are to start from Adelaide, transporting our cars there and flying over. From there down to Melbourne via the GOR again. Across Bass Strait for a 4/5 day driving tour of Tassie. From there it's up to Canberra, this time via the Snowy Mountains rather than the Hume. Up to Sydney, via Kangaroo Valley , Macquarie Pass, the Seacliff Bridge and the Royal National Park. The next day is Toyotafest. In our hungover states we plan to do a day trip to Bathurst for a lap around the track, the track is closed the day after so hungover it is. Back in Sydney for the drags, then up to Brisbane and to Cairns. Day to relax up there, then eventually we'll head across to Darwin. From Darwin it's across to Broome and Ningaloo, before coming home from the North. It's a whole butt-load of km. Reliable cars only It's going to take around a month. We're looking between 14000km and 15000km at the moment, the final route is being tweaked as we speak.

We're also keen for people to join along the way, if you want to tag along for a leg of the journey, you're more than welcome.

The following are the maps of each day. I'll be updating them with fuel availability, accommodation etc. but the links will stay the same. I'll update them as I've completed them. Day 1 = Saturday 25th of September 2010
Day 1 - Adelaide to Warrnambool
Day 2 - Warrnambool to Melbourne via GOR
Day 3 - Devonport to Queenstown
Day 4 - Queenstown to Hobart
Day 5 - Hobart to St Helens via Port Arthur
Day 6 - St Helens to Devonport via Launceston
Day 7 - Melbourne to Canberra via The Alpine Way
Day 8 - Canberra to Sydney
Day 9 - Toyotafest and Lowenbrau
Day 10 - Bathurst Daytrip
Day 11 - Relax in Sydney / Prep cars
Day 12 - Relax in Sydney / Prep cars / Drags
Day 13 - Sydney to Warwick
Day 14 - Warwick to Brisbane
Cheers,
Nathan
