Advice on driving from Melbourne to Lostock IISAC '15
Tentatively looking at Lostaock for 2015 and I'd like to hear from IIS members who have attended in the past from Melbourne or even Victoria. It will be a fair drive for myself but if things fall into place around that time I might make the trip.
Definately want to fit Parkes Radio Telescope into the trip.
Day 1: Up the Hume to Albury - Wagga - Young - Cowra - Forbes - Parkes. Stay in Parkes overnight
(Would I be better going: Albury - Wagga - Temora - West Wyalong - Forbes - Parkes ??)
Day 2: Visit Dish the next day, then continue onto Dubbo - Dunedoo - Denman - Singleton - Lostock.
I'm open to suggestions on this route or any improvements. Any opinions on the road quality?
Anyone made the trip from Parkes - Lostock? How long does it take? Mr. Google says about 6 hours! I'd like to get to Lostock before dusk but fit in the Dish before I leave the Parkes.
Cheers,
Stephen
