Is anyone coming down for the Raiders match?

[Normie]

I will venture the 10 minute journey on the pushbike on Sunday 6th May to Canberra Stadium. Anyone from here making the trip down to beautiful Canberra? At least is is a Sunday arvo game so it shouldn't be too cold!
Would be good to catch up over a few !
C'mon - I made the trip up to Brooky a few weeks ago (it's now a 2hr 45min car trip!)........

 

[Fluffy]

i think duffs going

 

[The Wheel]

I would love to but with a 3 month old baby I am lucky to get to Brookie these days, let alone road trips. Actually I am saving my brownie points up for a trip to Brisbane later in the year.

 

[PJ]

there is every chance Goldie...just a short 2/1/2 hr drive from me

 

[The Gronk]

How far is it from Melbourne Goldie?

 

[PJ]

not too far Gronk- get Doug motivated for a road trip and pick me up on the way through

 

[The Wheel]

Sounds as though Canberra is about 2 and half hour away from everywhere. I reckon it would would be agood 5 or 6 hours from melbourne

 

[PJ]

yep Wheel spot on

 

[ads]

It is more like 8 hours to Melbourne.

We will be going to the game but seeing we live only 20 minutes away that is no great feat. I agree that many should make the trip down.

 

[The Gronk]

8 hours? Really? I can get to Syd from Melbourne in 9 and a half....

 

[fLIP]

16 hour drive? I won't be there.

 

[Fro]

if it takes 8.5 hrs from Canberra to melbourne you sholdnt let your nanna drive

 

[Matabele]

I'd have been there if I wasn't on holiday.

I have never actually done it myself. But according to mates it takes roughly 8 hours.

I checked on whereis, and they claim 7 hours and 22 minutes, which i guess including stops would be around 8 hours.

 

[Matabele]

It's 770km with a good deal of it 110kph zone.

 

[The Gronk]

OK fair enough....I just thought that it was supposed to be half way between Sydney and Melbourne, but clearly Melburnians are a lot smarter and asked to have the place as far away as possible.

 

[earl]

Ill be there.
What round is it??

 

[fLIP]

Round 8

 

[toovs]

it is pretty dam cold here now so don,t get your hopes up we will we just have to put up with watching the eagles flog them in the cold . i have only 15 mintues to drive but we will be still un beaten then so come down and watch us make it 8 in a row

 

[Duff]

Yeah, I think I'll be there.
That's the plan at this stage.
