Road trip! (Newcastle-Adelaide-Toowoomba-Newcastle)

[Tim Smtih]

Guess Toowoomba seems a lot more exciting when you don't live here.

I lived there for a few years, a few years too many. I agree it's nice to visit but not so much to live. How's the local indigenous population? I think i managed to piss off most of them. NO I DONT HAVE A SPARE CIGARETTE BRUDDA!

Yeah they are still here... always will be I guess

One thing to note about Toowoomba is that it has a reputation of being a Panel Beaters Paradise, so watch your step when driving here... :hmmm:

Bathurst?

West Wyalong to Bathurst is an OK road. Why not. I went to Bathurst last year, and could not resist a couple of laps. The TV gives no real indication of the slopes up and down.

i was in toowoomba today
seemed like there was a red light camera at just about every intersection and there is also a fixed camera going up the range

for a place that is supposed to be in serious drought and have no water it was awfully green.

don't know what is good about the place as i have always just been passing through and have never actually stopped there

Ok, so am now thinking that the route to Adelaide via Bathurst/Parks is a goer.

Anyone with suggestions for Adelaide - Broken Hill? Is heading north to Burra, or east to Mildura the way to go?

Sounds like Toowoomba could be an interesting stop... thankfully it is just for a wedding, not a holiday as such
