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.
Greg.
