Ryan...

3 things...

1. Cairns is not 18 hours from Bundy...

2. The cops are the same everywhere in QLD

3. They have just as many skylines per head of cattle...

Are you saying it's longer or shorter to Cairns?

We did Cairns in two days from Brissie, but that's because we wanted to stop along the way... we did brisbane to mackay in easy 10 hours and then Mackay to Cairns in easy 8 hours... we stopped in Townsville for a good 2/3 hours... And bundaberg is like ~3 hours from brisbane?

The drive to Cairns on the Bruce highway is actually alright! People were telling us how crap it was, but it was way better than I expected. Just make sure your alert between rockhampton and mackay and bowen to Home hill.. those are probably the two worst stretches.. After home hill, theres very little outback and it's more tropical and sugar cane.

I cant say about Cairns but here in Townsville there are quite a few 32's and 33's and the odd supra, silvia and 180. Bundy to Cairns should only take you 13 maybe 14 hours.

Yeah much shorter sorry...

I took me about 12 hours to mackay where we stayed over night then 8 hours to cairns...

That was in a 36 tonne truck and 40 foot trailer... So Bunderburg to cairns in a car should be shorter...

Make sure you stop and take a break every 2-3 hours. Cause long drives like that are very straining...

takes 18hrs straight through from atherton ( 1hr from cairns )to b'bane.

since cairns import scene is the topic, how many performance workshops specialising in imports are there and is there any compliance places up there? i'm going to be opening a business of this nature in the next couple of years and at the moment i'd take cairns's nice warm days over brissy's anyday cheers

[Ol_Mate]

Theres no compliance places up here that I know of. As for workshops, there's prolly three or so. There's one performance part store that sells the brand names to all the F'n'F kids up here.

It's definately a niche maket thats starting to pick up quite a bit.
