Taken from BP's Trip Planner. I suggest filling up at Tailem Bend, as it is about 300km to Ouyen, and then filling up again at Ouyen, and they both have BP Ultimate.

Of course it is a rough route, I will mostt likely be leaving from Victor Harbor with Rob.

[Madaz]

i don't know why i bother sometimes, obviously extra fuel stops can be thrown in along the way

ok awesome Ryan

does everyone realise that i will be trying to head out @ 5am in the morning so we can try to be there about 3:30pm

straight up the freeway fuel stop @ horsham then all the way to destination

Adelaide > Horsham 429km's 4hr 56min as per google maps >>Here<<

Horsham > Shepparton 332km's 4hr 44min as per google maps >>Here<<

[Jap_star]

Just a note, theres a few of the SA drift boys that will be with us for the start of the treck to Calder park drift attack on the same weekend heading out friday morning. A big South Australian invasion indeed

[Madaz]

yeah but aren't you guys heading out mid morning like 8am or something

ill be heading out from my house @ about 5am not sure if ill head to murray bridge through the freeway or palmer

[Jap_star]

bout the same time steve to arrive mid afternoon. have no real set plans and probably wont until a few days before, most likely thursday night

[Madaz]

ok so if AMP and the drift boys are towing my guess is it would be better for us to make our way to the freeway through the burbs

[Jap_star]

will just head along portrush, chuck a left and work the rest out from there

no real rush

[HOSTILE]

So did we confirm a meet point for us southerners? I know there was talk of Mt Barker?

I will be booting up thru Upper sturt to join the freeway at Crafers... I will most likely have a brief stop at Tailem bend as driving at that time of day will require caffeine...lots of caffeine.

[Jap_star]

sounds like a meeting time for tailem bend if every one wants to head over together as most will require a top up there

[Madaz]

or red bull maybe a cafe latte with a shot of red bull

naw no time was set for meeting @ 6:30 tailem maybe meet @ tailem and depart tailem @ 6:45 (thereabouts once everyone has fueled done a pit stop got coffee and drinks)

i assume 1.5 hours would give us enough to to get there Josh?

remember a lot of this trip will be play it by ear

[HOSTILE]

6.30 @ Tailem Bend.... sounds like a plan

[Madaz]

kool that's that sorted

[MattR]

so are people thinking via ouyen or Horsham. i have done both ways several times and not much differance. the road off to horsham involves a bit of backtracking near Murtoa as not on the intersection. Murtoa to St Arnuad is a bit rough but very rarely any traffic.

if i was driving id give Ouyen a miss and go via horsham

[R31Nismoid]

Event run plan is up/posted.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/379880-event-run-plan/

Make sure you print out a copy

[Madaz]

Ash i would be right in thinking the after party is an 18+ affair

[R31Nismoid]

Indeed it will be. I'll ask the question tomorrow when I talk to the venue again.
