I'm in.

I guess for those travelling northward, the meeting spot will be Thornleigh Maccas as usual?

;42I think to go to Newcastle for breaky only is to far why not lunch instead and a cruise afterwards ?

^ I prefer the early start -- little or no traffic on the F3 makes for a better run, IMO.

We could hang around for lunch (or make it brunch) and a cruise too, I guess.

I have updated this information to cater for all that wish to attend.

Those that wish to have breakfast, parking will be arranged shortly and information supplied via this thread or via phone calls.

Those that wish to have lunch parking will be in the same location as the breakfast people and, as above, information supplied via this thread.

Those like myself that will be at breakfast and lunch, parking will be available as well.

Any questions please call Rusty: 0439 870 830

A Link to the "WHEREIS" map for this event.

I am speaking to Newcastle Council to arrange a Half Road Closure for our cars to be parked all in one location, right next to the harbour. The cost of this closure is $40 for the day and I am sure it will be worth it.

Basically, our parking area will be the first turn left after the Watt Street and Wharf Road round-about.

If you arrive along Watt St. you turn right around the round-about then take the first left along the harbour.

If you arrive along Wharf Rd. go straight through the round-about then take the first left along the harbour.

That beta version of Whereis locks up my PC. ;47

$40 to close half a road all day sounds pretty cheap, or is that $40 each?

$40 flat for half the road.

Mind you I am not really closing half the road as the place I want to close off is not really a through road. But some of the locals use it like that sometimes......;45

Probably should aim to leave Maccas at 7am, I reckon.

I received word this morning that our Half Road Closure has been approved by Newcastle Council.

Barriers will be up on both ends of our parking area to stop other vehicles from entering.

I am hoping to be able to fill this with Corvettes. It is about 80m long and two lanes wide.

I reckon I will be in too. Will be a good run to get used to my vett after 4 months of repair work.
The wharf is a good spot to kick back so bring your sunscreen & cool looks
