here or Canberra very similar distance still a very big day up to Qld border towns, let alone Bris'y you are talking close to 18 hours minimum ride time (google maps say 15hr45 mins that does not include rest and meal, fuel stops) I have found that while google map are fairly accurate they do not allow sufficent time for most riders, I have done it form here to Phillip Island in less time than they say ( no rest or food just refuel quick piss once on the way) but wont tell you the risks I took on that one very fast (well over 140klm/h most of way) trip on average the average rider needs to add at least another hour and more the longer to trip for stretching etc. I would suggest If we where to do it leave here Wed morning get north of coff's maybe as far a Ballina Then head up to bris'y thurs and you would have to allow tuesday as well, just to far in one day..... I have a wifee that would like to see me in one piece to do it in one day to big a risk with the big hoppy things not to mention fatguie JMHO
