Road Trippin', Spec-B style!

Nearly everything is in here to start with.
If it's about your car, or Subaru's in general, put it in "Subaru Chat".

Sure mate! Full Road Trip Route (close enough anyway).

Note that between Wee Jasper ("D") & Tumut we took a 60km or more pothole ridden usealed road that you can only average around 30km/hr. :evil: Not sure if said 'road' was Yass Rd or Wee Jasper Rd. Regardless, I think both options are unsealed.

The best bit of driving was between Yarrangobilly ("F") to Thredbo ("G"), via the tourist drive that takes you past & over the Snowy Hydro dams and down to the NSW/VIC border. The other great bit, although short, was the road between Yass & Wee Jasper. :D

ive been around that area before but it was in an old ford explorer, so probably not as fun. (fuel consumption was no where near that good either, haha)
im jealous of the big wagon sunroof and the sleepin in the back set up, wouldnt be very comfy in the sedan! haha.

i rekon ill try and do a similar trip at some point. might go for a ski this season if i can spare the money, its pretty expensive up there.


Just be aware that coming in the 'back way' to Thredbo (I.E. not via Snowy Mountain's Hwy) would be pretty snowy/icey in the winter months. Meh, Subaru AWD FTW? ...Hmm, perhaps a different story with 40 series Potenza RE050A's, LOL.

I couldn't believe it at the timeand still a little at loss now but the best steak I've ever had was at the restuarant next to the Best Western in Tumut

It even put the $100 steak I had at Kinsleys on that wharf thingo in Wolloomooloo 2nd on the list
Now that I'm in North America, I'm greatly concerned about raised pick-up trucks and owners of wedge shaped vehicles. Seriously, not only do you have to be concerned about one hitting you in an accident, they stand a good chance of driving over you at the same time!

Mate thats an awsome trip!!!
Another advantage if having a wagon is u can have a pinic in the back when its raining!!!!
Did this a while back near the blue mountains. Was pissing down so we sat in the back with the tailgate open. It was an awsome idea. We also had the music pumpin while downing the beers n food!!!
Im up to for trying the back out as a bed heheheh
