sounds like a few are interested, is it a bit like L/M i.e a whole weekend gathering of petrol heads/drunks in disguise, anybody know about accomodation nearby,entry costs etc? (must look up where Bathurst is lol)
About 3 hours out of Sydney, I will get there myself one day ! |

Ive driven round the mountain (it's public road) a couple of times, it's about an hour and a half from my father in laws place. (About 300 kms west of Sydney, over the blue mountains, which are gorgeous.
Definitely a pilgrimage to do. They ran a 24 hour race there a couple of times in the recent past as well, about a fortnight before or after the 1000.
However I have been warned that the racegoers are 'bloody animals' but I've camped in HA, they can't be all that bad.
I think we're planning a family holiday the year after next, and I intend to take in the 1000 or if the timing is out, one of the eastern creek rounds.

Actually, the fact that it's a bit of an unpolished crowd makes me curious. I've read a story in Top Gear Magazine on massive fireworks and throwing burning toilet paper, making impressive light lines in the air but they can also land on your head if you don't watch out. It's an event for the hairy chested, so much is sure. |
