Please fill out the requested information in the below Registration Form which will assist us to manage the event and your room reservations.

More details about the route, accomodation and itinerary will be provided in late February 2025. 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 Hunter Valley, Gulgong, Dubbo, Parkes and Bathurst. During the day we will take in the views and tourist sites.

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

We booked accommodation at each of the motels and will need to confirm these room bookings for each participant by February 2025.

The event entry will be closed on Friday 7th February. You are still welcome to attend but will be required to obtain your own accommodation either in our pre-booked motels or at a close by Motel.

Some Motels have offered group booking prices which require us to pay the Motel a single amount. To manage this requirement we will ask each participants to pay the Mini Car Club and the Club will make the single payment prior to departure.

Important note: We will pass on your name and contact details in February 2025 to each Motel so they can pre-fill the reservation forms. Each participant will then be required to contact each motel to provide their credit card details for any deposits and payments.

It is highly desirable that every one has Road-side service membership and their Mini serviced and ready for the trip.
