Finishing the last bit of packing. Sandee and I will be off to Oz tonight flying that awesome 14 hour flight to Sydney on the less than impressive Airbus A380. In Sydney I will kiss my bride and wave goodbye. I catch a plane south to Adelaide and will retrieve my camper van and head for Port Augusta after spending Thursday at the Clipsall 500. Sandee did not see the humor of 125 miles of dirt road to the salt, her loss. She heads north the Gold Coast to Currumbin Valley and will be riding a 50 mile endurance horse race while we are testing the horsepower on the salt.
I am looking forward to visting with all of you at the 24th DRLA Speed Week. It is shaping up to be a fast and enjoyable time to be sure. Travel safe to all!

Scott, a bunch of folks stay at the "Big 4" Caravan/Camping Park in Port Augusta,, follow the highway thru town, over the bridge, traffic lights, up the hill, Shell Gas station on right, Big 4, on corner,, if you reach the Perth/Alice Springs major intersection, you have gone a little to far,,, enjoy your flight, ive done it twelve times and it never gets any shorter, :lol:

Thanks for the tip and I plan on hitting the Big4 either Thursday night or Friday sometime (the reservation is Thursday). It depends on how much fun I am having at the Clipsal 500 on Thursday. A good buddy of mine from Brisbane Barry Lockwood will be meeting me if I stay until Friday in Adelaide. We are finished packing and contemplating the "last supper" before we head to the airport. It might just be sushi, this is LA you know..... LOL! Thank you all for the great comments and wonderful welcome.

I'm just mounting a new car fridge in the back of my ute (nothing lines up and matches/mates, as bloody usual!).
I'm meeting up with my son and my brother in law, both first timers, and we're leaving from Canberra around midday Wednesday, arriving Saturday arvo after attending to some family business in Adelaide.
Safe trip everyone, and looking forward to some hard, fast salt. :D
