BigFatDave 258 Posted May 1, 2012 Those of you planning a January sojourn Downunder can start checking out the costs of Flights, Accommodation etc as the dates for the Australian Senior and Under 21 Solo Championships are all but confirmed. While they haven't been officially released yet my sources lead me to highly recommend investigating a Campervan Holiday, starting in South Australia - the home of Gillman Speedway - on say the first weekend in January (Jan 5th), then a leisurely drive across South-East Oz to Undera, near Shepparton, Central Victoria, timing your arrival for Wednesday 9th, and a quick hop and a step up to Kurri Kurri for the weekend of the 12th. Of course it's always a good idea to do a bit of touring around Northern NSW including Coffs Harbour for the Big Banana, the Big Blue Heeler at Muswellbrook, the Big Bowl at Lake Cathie, the Big Cherry at Young, the Big Bicycle at Chullorah, the Giant Gold Guitar at Tamworth and many many more Big Things - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia's_big_things - or just cruising around the Wineries of the Hunter Region, taking in the delights of Maitland (widely accepted as the Birthplace of Speedway) and returning to Kurri on the 19th when with a little bit of luck, if all goes to plan, you could catch the Australian Under-21s, always one of our best meetings. Mildura has the Under-16s, no dates available at the mo. Naturally this is all extremely hypothetical, but if you get the chance to visit a Bookies and lay some wagers down on these dates you could be pleasantly surprised! The timing of the Seniors, over an eight day period, is designed to minimise the costs for those riders wishing to compete, while the return of the Under-21s to Kurri after their successful staging of the event this year is designed to maximise the field - 75% of our under-21s come from NSW. Next Year's Sidecars Championships return to Gillman around the end of March/start of April, with dates dependent on the Auckland SGP in NZ and the Australian V8 Supercars Clipsal 500 weekend in Adelaide.

BigFatDave 258 Posted May 2, 2012 I'm pretty sure TravelPlus are running an organised tour, but you'd be more than welcome on my own personally-escorted Disorganised Tour, incorporating several visits to Wineries, Hostelries and Houses of Ill-repute, complete with complimentary Perving Lessons.
