since there is only 3 cars from NSW going down, I think we should leave fairly early. I suggest we meet at the sutton forest services (past mittagong) at 7am, grab yum yum and be gone by 7:15. Then maybe a stop at yass for fuel, do the slog thru the road works ( apporox 180kms), stop at albury for lunch, then power on to melbourne. only side note (time dependent) would be a stop off to brown brothers wines in milliwa (about 20mins off the freeway), this is an optional bit and may not happen as time might not be on our side. if you want to meet earlier, put it down, i'm happy to leave earlier, but I need notice :)
