A cruise/dinner or something would be great! I'll see how we go for time once we get there, we're leaving bubs with the grandparents, so I'm trying to screw a few extra nights in... depends on what happens with bubs though. Plus the missus wants to do all the theme parks! But I'm sure we'll have a day somewhere!!

I head inland to cowra, jerildrie, wellington, molong etc, come out at dubbo... then haul up the inland road - follow the trucks via gondowindi, ipswich etc to brisvegas, buggerall speed zone changes...much quicker and easier, but if you go at night, be careful stretching yr fuel stops in NSW !!!the coast road is a shocker if yr in a hurry - believe me...good luch
