The MX-5 Club of NSW is organising the event and there are limited places available, so make a decision early. See/drive some great roads and meet/make some interstate MX-5 friends.
Details for QLD members are on
the MX-5 Club of QLD website. and there is more chat etc. through
this link.

Hmmm... a good friend I haven't seen in many years manages Roches Family Hotel.
John, would you know if there's anything going on there? If so, I (+1) would be keen to come.

Sorry Andrew, I don't know anything about Roches.
This is a combined clubs event for MX-5 club members.
The MX-5 Club of NSW are the principal organisers and are handling the function/accommodation arrangements.

Yes its going to be a great run.
Kuntry Kuzzin does the best runs I ever been on in NSW. 2nd to me of course LOL
The roads will be awesome. Simply some of the best in northern NSW. Great opportunity to not do it alone cause the old saying you never will......
Also for the QLDers catching up with us New South Welsh people / MX5ers is great also.. Great People ... Same interest.... MX5s and twisty roads....

A breakdown of fuel usage and cost per day as follows:
Day 1 - From Brisbane to Grafton via the back street (Not Pacific Mway)
419km @ 27L @ $1.609 BP 98 - $43.44
Day 2 - Dorrigo, Bellingen & Coff Harbour
281km @ 20.66L @ 1.609 BP 98 - $33.24
Day 3 - Mclean, Yamba, some coastal area
166.6km @ 14L @ 1.609 BP 98 - $22.56
Day 4 - From Grafton to Glen Innes to Tenterfield to Stanthorpe to Warwick to Aratuala to Brisbane - 1 tank of fuel
548km @ 34.37L @ 1.499 BP 98 - $51.52
