For any of you in Sydney who are planning on heading to Wagga All Ford Day next weekend.... while I realise it might be only a few, I will be heading down on Friday. The trip would be a lot more interesting with some company! I'd like to hit the M5 as early as possible but would be open to any suggestions.

Wagga is comfortably done in 3 hrs. Thats from my front door, onto start M7, M5 and onto Hume.
Pick your time right, have right "tools" and off you go. I can leave 5am and be there before the show starts! Leave by 3, home for dinner!

If you want pace.. My front door to Bundaberg in QLD.. 13 Hours. Door to door. Including breaks (two) and crossing Goldie and Brisbane in Peak Hour...
To do it but, you need to know a few things, and pick your times for the run to Wagga.. Also a CB and something else...
