Default Bathurst 2008

hi fellas, were heading off from south Oz next year on a pilgramidge(?) to the bathurst 2008. Got a couple of questions to put to you's. our two plans are as follows,

1. drive over in a couple of cars, get some sort of camping type accom for the 4 days head back(the simple version).

2. fly return to sydney($200)ish, pik up 6 berth motorhome for 3 people($400ish each), drive to bathurst camp stay 4 days in MH drive back to sydney.

Question is this: who's been there from that far away, drove or flew or both, what do you reckon is the best and the cheapest way to have a great bathurst with accomodation.

Drive. It's only about a 14hr drive from Adders to the Bathurst area and after you get through the Syd airport system it will probably take about the same time

As for staying around Bathurst I'd say start booking NOW.

...A 6berth camper for $400? thats real cheap. I thought most only rented on a weekly basis, starting at around $1000

Thats $400 each person, based on three people in each MH, at @ $1200 for 5 days doesn't seem to bad on the price.

Hmm, well you can get a REAL nice motel for $240 a night...but dont mind me, I'm cheap

If it was me I'd still go for the driving option. Traffic and Mr Plod is horrendous between Bathurst and Syd during race week.
