i know this is early, but who's up for a roadtrip in september for the weekend? i really want to get out to the airshow this year as i've never been to one.
RAAF Williamtown is just north of Newcastle...so i thought would could maybe head up early that day, check out the show, then head back to Newie for a piss up or something? will probably look into accommodation at a pub hotel somewhere, or even find some self contained accommodation so we have a safe place to park our bikes.
anyone interested?
