MINIS OVER THE MOUNTAINS - 7-12 April 2024.

Do you want to go on an amazing road trip in your Classic Mini or your MINI?

Then why not join our “Minis over the Mountains” tour including Mount Ainslie, Mt Kosciusko, Mt Panorama between 7-12th April 2024.

We hope to catch the autumn colours as we travel over the mountains and through country NSW. The route has been calculated to limit each day’s travel to around 250km or 3 hours driving with the round trip from Sydney to be approx. 1500km. Overnight stops are in Canberra, Jindabyne, Wagga Wagga, Cowra and Bathurst via Mt Kosciusko through Khancoban and Tumbarumba. During the day we will take in the views and tourist sites including Mt Ainsley, Old Parliament House, Canberra Arboretum, Temora Aircraft Museum, Cowra Japanese gardens, Mt Panorama, Bathurst and more.

Estimated cost for our adventure for two people with 5 night’s accommodation, fuel and meals is approx. $1500.

In early October we booked accommodation at each of the planned motels and will need to confirm these rooms for participants by late November 2023.

Happily we already have enough participants to make this event viable and they join us in hoping you can join us for these incredible six days or a couple along the way.

Firm confirmation and bookings will be made in late November 2023.

Please email social@miniclub.com.au   or phone Michael 0411019112 to indicate your interest.

Our hosts did extremely well for their 1st C&C event of ours and, despite doing a great job, have found some efficiencies they're going to work on too. Dust off whatever is sitting in the shed and get amongst it !
Please feel free to share this around your social media and car related networks. See you soon !
A great location with tonnes of parking on asphalt, 2 coffee machines running, the all important BACON and egg rolls (plus plenty of other good food options).
There's also a park across the road, if the rug-rats need to burn off their triple shot espresso levels of energy.
Our Cars & Coffee crowd will have our own dedicated ordering area too, further details will be shared just prior to the day.
Roll up and check out the array of classic and vintage cars on display.. Hot Rods, classics, vintage, veteran , sports cars and more! 8am - 11am every last Sunday of the month Everyone is welcome, whether you bring your own classic car or just want to chat to fellow enthusiasts!
