I like to plans things well ahead, also helps with booking leave from work.
I'm hoping to leave for the National Rally the week before (probably Monday 16 March), spend a couple of nights (at around 700km and 1,400km - where ever that might be), get as far as Howard QLD (catch-up with an old mate), and then to Brisbane (catch-up with other mates), then to Toowoomba for Friday and Saturday, then meet some other mates for three or four days riding around SE QLD and northern NSW.
The return trip will take around two weeks and include a week with Mrs W at a resort near Coffs Harbour.
I'll be looking for some company for the ride up. If anyone is interested, please let me know.
