So we are all pretty much in agreement that we are going to group up at Grafton on the Thursday and ride to HB the next day, yeah?
I've passed thru Grafton a few times over the years but never stayed there I don't think.
What's peoples thoughts for accommodation for the night.
Hanso's towing the camper so I'd imagine you'd be sleeping in it.
Tomcat. You thinking about rollin out the swag or would a room in a pub or cabin in a caravan park be better for a one nighter???
I'm not fussed but if it's lookin like rain I'd rather a cabin or room.
Mitch. You'd be wanting a room too???
Does anyone know the area well enough to make any suggestions?? Preferably at or near a pub so we can have a countermeal and a few drinks without taking the bikes out again.
I usually overnite at Kempsy . Got mates at Grafton that would know where to pull up for the night. Can suss it out if you want. If you have put a big day in riding you may want a bed. I don't really care either way... swag it or motel.

yeah been looking at that, melboune - bathurst is about 800k and having driven there towing its a decent drive so will be a bit too much for me considering i'll have anoth few days doing 1300k more.
i might do melb - yass day 1 (500k)
yass - raymond terrace day 2 (540k)
raymond terrace - grafton on day 3 (450)
grafton - hb day 4 (610)
Might want to double check that Big fella. I think you might of done a return trip as well.
Google maps shows it as being 604Ks and 7 hours travel.
I usually manage to include my breaks for food and fuel in the times they give so I'd expect to do it 7 hours or less start to stop.

612k's 7hr 24mins according to my system which confirms the other 2...I think if you were taking it easy and stopping every 100 k for a stretch and coffee at every fuel stop you could stretch it to 12 hours but.....
