He's definitely missed.I think im going to rough it at the backpackers in jindy, or I may have some mates that still live there, jindys my old home town.. itll be nice to go backYou should check in with some of us who have spare beds in our rooms - Alpine Gables just about has 6 beds per room from memory (ones a double but the others are 2 double deckers). Am sure you should be able to bunk in with one of us Just not with me - I snore like dozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumut Motor Inn only 4 rooms left at the Tumut Motor Inn as of today! Thanks Rab Not to worry - there is other accomodation in Tumut nearby - just that dinner venue Oriental Hotel is right next door to Tumut Motor Inn Still plenty of accomodation in Jindy Alpine Gables and Omeo Golden Age I'm still planning to do the 4 day cruise (additional day to do Vic Alpine roads) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On most roads you can take the recommended corner speeds and double them...but not this one. Not sure what cruisemaster Gaz has recommended but I'd suggest at least taking the snowy mountains highway via Adamininininby (or something like that) and meeting us at the Cabramurra turn off. Bloody spectacular roads that are a fair bit more open than Alpine Way west of Thredbo and enough to give a jellyfish a hardon when done in convoy. 32 sleeps to go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll more than likely stick to driving to Khancoban for this trip, but should I come along for the next one I'll consider doing the entire cruise route. It's going to be interesting how much fuel I end up using in the T as opposed to my old V6 ute which got me to Thredbo on a full tank if memory serves.
