RYN26 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hi Guys and Gals, I am planning to drive down to Syd from QLD during the easter vacation And being my first time for such a long drive, I really want some advice from you guys. Anything need to be done to the car before and after the journey? Any place on the way or in Syd I must see? ( I dont mind stop in a nice town for a night ) OH, and I heard that ppl under 25 can't drive a turbo car in Syd, is that true? If so, I might be in trouble. ( sometimes you just wanna get older, insurance etc.... ) anyway, Looking forward to your ideas, Thx alot! Hoping to meet some nice skyliners in Syd, and I might drive to Canberra too, anyone wanna join me? Happy easter everyone~~ Ryan Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/111696-driving-to-syd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guilt-Toy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Just be carefull when you get onto the F3 at hexham and your going towards sydney (last 2 hours of trip) there is a 90 zone... Cops love that 90 zone. So when the speed changes from 110 to 90 on the freeway DO 90 =) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/111696-driving-to-syd/#findComment-2060137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R33GTRVSPEC Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Theres plenty of speed camera's on the pacific hwy, but there are signs before each one so you should be right. Should be plenty of cops around if you come down during easter too. Theres a lot of roadworks going on too, so watch out for massive trucks moving slowly and throwing up stones/mud. You might have a struggle finding 98 petrol in some of the towns, just fill up in the bigger places. I know theres definately 98 in Coffs Harbour, i was just up there last weekend.
