Hey all.

Thought I'd share the Black Panther's summer vacation with you.

Took the boat to Kangaroo Island for sailing national championships then came back via Great Ocean Rd.

4,600ks in total - First day 27 Dec - Sydney-Wagga-Balranald-across the Murray at Toooleybuc-Ouyen and a night at the Victoria Hotel - great contry pub!

Second day Ouyen-Pinaroo-Wentworth Ferry across the Murray-Victor Harbour-Cape Jervis (awsome drive over the hills - lotsa WRXes out to play)-Ferry to KI-Kingscote.

Spent 10 days on the island sailing, drinking, partying and finishing running the car in, then back across and up to McLaren Vale.

Then McLaren Vale-Wentworth Ferry again-The Coorong-Kingston SE (what a hole)-Robe (Fantastic)-Beachport-Coonawarra.

Then Coonawarra-a couple of wineries-Mt Gambier-Port McDonald-Portland-Port Fairey-Warrnambool-Great Ocean Rd (Port Campbell).

A day around Port Campbell, Cape Otway Light House, 12 apostles etc.

Then Apollo Bay-Lorne-Geelong-Ballarat-Clunes (original gold town in Victoria).

Then Castlemaine-Bendigo-Echuca-Deniliquin-Jerilderie and home via Wagga and the Hume Hwy. Back into Sydney 12 January.

4 up for the trip back, luggage, esky and (lots of ) wine, with the boat and trailer behind, and nothing passed us. The Spec B is an awesome touring car.

Only hassles were squeaking sunroof cover and lousy headlight coverage on low beam on the freeway.

Here's some pics. Enjoy.

Looks like a great trip.

I got told off for taking too many pics with the car in them when we were touring around SA last November

That Koala is cool.

great pics mate, and sounds like you had a great trip...

and like you said ric, i got in trouble for taking so many pics of the car, hence i filtered them out and only posted the new years ones.. a ha

They're especially good photos when you look at them from monitor at your work. Kinda wish I was in those photos.

I know what you mean. I wish I was still out there as well. Way more fun than sitting in the office.

BTW. Rick. There's lots more piccies without the car.
