Sorry for my delayed response, details as above (thanks Matt).

SHould be a good day for new members and old, I've had a few calls from brand new members wanting to get involved too, so it should be a good opportunity for everyone to see what the chapter and club anre about.

I'll see you tomorrow if someone gives me directions. Of course you might just want to keep me away........

It's on Richardson Road.

Richardson Road comes off the Pacific Hwy.

(Coming from the South you turn Right onto Richardson Rd then it's about 3km to Finnan Park)

... I think
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Imagine, the first reply comes all the way from Perth!
Richardsons Road, what suburb? This side of Newcastle or past? Any where near Raymond Terrace?

Yup, if that's the option in your GPS i'm sure it'll work.

Approx. 200 km north of Sydney 2.5 hours drive, turn right off Pacific Highway on outskirts of Raymond Terrace.

From the South it's the first major intersection after the Adelaide St turn off in Heatherbrae.

Are you coming in off the New England Hwy or Maitland Rd?

Jean,

Here's some destructions for you. :mrgreen:

1. Follow the Syd-Newcastle freeway to the end, until you get to the roundabout located at the intersection of John Renshaw Drive.
2. Turn right onto John Renshaw Drive (You may remember the BP?Hungry Jacks on previous runs).
3. Follow JRD and take the overpass to the right onto the New England Highway.
4. Turn left onto the Pacific Highway towards Raymond Terrace. This is the large bridge over the river by the way at Hexham Oaks.
5. Follow for some time, continue straight through the roundabout onto the Raymond Terrace Bypass.
6. Take the Richardson Road offramp
7. Turn right onto Richardson Road
8. Follow RR until you find the lads!

Trust our Camelboi to draw an 'overland and water' route that doesn't require any actual 'road' use - a typical ship of the desert route and I assume the X marks the oasis! :roll: :roll: That last right turn looks very wet to me!! :shock: :roll: :P

I just factored in Jean being really hungry and overshooting the last corner when she gets a whiff of the BBQ!

I figured she'd stop for a Bacon Double Cheeseburger Deluxe Combo Upgraded at the HJs on John Renshaw Drive
