Guest outlawskyline Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 You should shit it in man, i live in Bathurst, takes me bout 2 1/2 hours to Syd and Orange is only 45 from Bathurst, worth the trip. Just get on the M4 and follow it all the way through to Lithgow, Bathurst, then Orange, easy as man Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/42879-long-drive-from-sydney-to-orangeround-trip/#findComment-875262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawks Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 according to travelmate, sydney to sydney via orange is 7:58, nearly eight hours. the drive through the blue mountains is slow, but once you get down mt victoria its a good run. heres the program yo use - travelmate Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/42879-long-drive-from-sydney-to-orangeround-trip/#findComment-875281 Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0nyGTSt Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 WTFFFFF??? What is in Orange that is any good? I drove to Goulburn and it was pretty boring going down and back except for the road company. Wagga sucked the nads as well. LOL!!! Roadtrip in Philip's car. Can we find a creaky wooden bridge and Philip will show us how to 'negotiate' it? T.

Guest Munky Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Round trip should be about 6 - 7 hours. Once last year our school bus driver did Bathurst > Sydney in 2 1/2 hours and that was with relatively safe driving!

NSM06T Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hey wat are you guys up to in orange? i'm from orange and there is starting to get a bit of an import club thing happening up here with a few nissan and toyota's. Look out for a few cars with a 'Kamikaze Drag and Drift' Stickers on the front window cause thats me and a few mates. It only takes about 3 1/2 hours from sydney to get here.
