VIC, NSW and ACT attendees make there way to Tumut Fri night. Routes as per PM. Saturday is the big day. Next day Sunday is a late start with brekky at hotel before we all head off our separate ways. NSWs can head towards Berridale and Sydney (460km approx 7 hours) and VICs get to do the snaking rock gullies again heading back towards Corryong then Melbourne (577km approx 9 hours). Optionally for those that can take the extra day off - some of us plan to do VIC Alpine National Park route with a stop-over in Omeo on Sunday before heading home via Albury/Wodonga on Monday. All on sealed roads! Please be aware there are some incredible twisties on this route - best let any passengers know of potential motion sickness. Also, please ensure you have a conntigency plan if you have a breakdown - like a mate who is willing to stay with you if necessary or Roadside Assistance. And it might be a good thing not to have anything critical to do on the following weekdays justin incase you need extra days to get home for some reason. DURATION: Main Cruise 3 Days - Friday Saturday and Sunday. Additional 1 Day - Monday.

EvilDaifu has a few CBs for free loan on the cruise if anyone is interested - just PM EvilDaifu to reserve one. Camera for the photo opps and the views. Don't forget to bring extra batteries for your CB and camera - something makes me think we'd be chewing through the batteries on this cruise! Sunnies. Warm clothes - though it's November, it's still an alpine region and they got snowed in on one the cruise years ago. Bucket, sponge and some car wash liquid if you want to keep your car shiny for photo opps. There's a coin car wash in Tumut. GoPros and ActionCams (prolly didn't need to say that ) If you have an edit - consider bringing your flash boxes/laptop justin case you need it - don't laugh I remember one gentleman broke down and had to drop his tune back to stock because a. dust in his airbox b. water in his fuel c. didn't clean K&N air filter of gunk d. sprung a leak in radiator hose e. pulled the USB cable out of OBD2 port before flash completed then had to wait for auto transmission to cool down f. farrked if I know Spare car keys (how many times have guys locked their keys in their boot on cruises ) MOBILEPHONE COVERAGE: Telstra has generally had the best coverage on this cruise in the past. You will need CBs though as there most of the time we'll be out of mobile coverage. Generally some of the guys will have spare CBs but just mentioned you'll need to borrow one when you post up below. RULES: 1. Obey all laws whilst on the cruise; this means no speeding, no overtaking over double lines (no matter how safe you think it may be), etc... 2. There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members. 3. Use the Buddy system - always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn to make sure nobody gets lost. 4. CB Radios - if you don't have one, follow the maps and directions given out. It is highly recommended to have CB as it enhances the enjoyment of the cruise being able to hear about road hazards and join in on the social chatter. 5. Please turn up to the meeting points with a sufficient fuel in your tank and enough time before the departure time. 6. Onus is on the owner/driver to ensure their vehicle is safe to drive on public roads and meets State road traffic authority laws. 7. Please ensure you have a contingency plan if you have a breakdown or unnecessarily delayed. e.g. Roadside Assistance or a mate in another car who is willing to stay with you if necessary. 8. This cruise is not to be advertised on any other media or websites or social media sites without prior agreement from the cruise organisers. 9. By attending this cruise you agree not to hold FordXR6Turbo.com, it's Administrators, Moderators, Cruise Controllers, or Owner responsible / liable for any damage and / or grief sustained (simply; you are responsible for your own actions).
