Road Trip to Melbourne

[The ho har's]

Thinking of a road trip to Meb:D

Should I take the series III 'zara' or steal the defender of hh...

I have my youngests daughters Graduation for her Masters degree in Education :D I am a proud mother.:D:D:D

decisions.. I love my 'zara' but would the drive take it's toll on me? Probably not as I am so used to driving 'zara' every day, then again a extra long way to drive...decisions...decisions....

thoughts everyone....

If you are not in a hurry I'd take Zara the Series 3

I drove my Series II towing a trailer from Canberra to Dayboro and thoroughly enjoyed the trip, broken up over two and a half days. Although Melbourne is about 500 kilometres further isn't it.

Congratulations to your daughter :)

[V8Ian]

It a lot further than Beaudesert Carolyn. A big ask from you and Zara, she's not as young as she used to be. Take the red one, shame you don't have a Disco. :p

It would be over several days, still thinking about it;)

First things first,
congrats to your daughter and harry and yourself!!

I hate to say it but take RED130,

the last thing you need is for ZARA to have a "moment" whilst you are on your way down and it turns into a bad journey...

besides knowing you too you'll need it to tow something you find back!!

Have Fun!

[Landy Smurf]

the defender for sure. It is a lot easier to drive long distance and is more secure as in lockable

[THE BOOGER]

If you take the 130 you have your motel room on the back any time you want a break:D

[extreme]

Take Zara, we can have more time to party/BBQ with Harry :D:wasntme:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

just fly,,,:angel:

[Chops]

Congrats to your daughter on that achievement.

Whatever you do,, whilst your down here, don't forget to call in :D

[Landy Smurf]

just fly,,,:angel:

But it is a road trip :burnrubber:

[mick88]

We travel a lot in our series three swb and really enjoy it, but we try not to do any more than 400 kays max in a day and preferably stay around the 300 mark. Our vehicle is very basic and standard other than a 3.54 diffs, holden donk and a roverdrive which all conribute to reducing the cabin noise. A big long distance day in a series is ok, but you really don't want to have to do it all over again the next day...and the next!

Have a fun and safe trip.
If you are passing through here you are most welcome to a feed and bed.

Cheers Mick.

[Landy Smurf]

We did just over 600kms coming back from glenreagh in the s3 in a day. but I do agree 300kms is more comfortable

[The ho har's]

I am now trying to talk hh into coming as well, since he doesn't work for an employer anymore, he can work his jobs around some time off:)

OR I could fly, but not so keen on that:(

Mrs hh:angel:

[Landy Smurf]

better having someone to travel with, good thinking 99

[Homestar]

Your head says 'Red' but your heart says 'Zara'. If you are just trying to get from a to b in the shortest possible time, then Red. If you are happy to travel less KM each day and stop and sell the roses, the Zara.:)

As Chops says though - say hi to us when you're down.:)

[The ho har's]

Great news!!!!

hh has agreed to come:D:D

We will be in the turtle...Red 130 with camper on board:D

we leave here on Saturday 7/12 and will take note of offers for a parking space for camping:D

Take several days to get there:) spend 3 or so days in Melb (I hate Melb)Only going because my Girls are there...oh and some good friends:D

Mrs hh:angel:

[Chops]

Awesome,,
We'll Carolyn, seems then that we should have a little "get together",, time permitting of course. So maybe your girls could find a Pub or something in your area, and then we can get some numbers and book it out :D

I only hope your girls will let us steel away some of your attention for a short time during the evening. We promise they'll have a fun night too :D

Leeanne says "Hi" too.

My girls are used to me...fun night sounds like fun:D

[Landy Smurf]

if you are passing through here or newcastle and feel like a quick catch up you are more then welcome. if you need a camp spot also more then welcome

[Killer]

I am too late, but I was going to say forget Zara..... and take Connie-Sue.:D:cool::angel:

Cheers, Mick.

just fly,,,:angel:
Hello and congratulations.

To be honest unless you are really into driving - love for Land Rovers or not - I'd take the plane.

Qantas is offering flights for less than $150 one way. Jetstar is probably cheaper.

Put yourself up somewhere nice (e.g. Windsor) and take a break.

Cheers,

now if you had a range then you would be in the habit of flying :angel:

[JDNSW]

Well, you know where I live, and the usual spot is available.

And give your daughter my congratulations.

Plenty of space at my place and you are more than welcome for a stop over.

I assume you would travel the Newell, and if you do Melb via my place is only 10 kays longer.

I am only two hours Nth of Melb, so a stop here gets you into Melb nice and fresh.

And yes, congrats on your daughters graduation. I will be there next year with a son. Makes us proud of our offspring.
