tuff truck 2010

[haynzy]

Righto my wife who is a Travel Agent is looking at putting together a package deal to the Aussie Tuff Truck Challenge and is wanting to get an idea of interest, The package would prob include flights transfers, accomadation and rental cars, entry to the event.
My idea is if we get enough people to go we could all take a piece of Jafas Jalopy in our suitcase and then he could represent ORE

This in the concept stage at the mo so many things will influence the price, if people have an idea of what they might like to see in a package that will help put together something attractive. The more people that go the cheaper it will be. I wanna go and hire a Cruiser troopy camper for the the event. Putting together trips like this is her speciality so with the right ideas an awesome trip could be had although if sadam is keen he needs to know there is no tui over there

[skid]

I have toyed with this idea in the past

4wd show is usually the week before

and theres the rock crawling place in melbourne where ya get to drive a crawler

not sure of locations, but you could make a week or more of it

fly over thurs nite, fri/sat/ and poss sun at 4wd show, then drive to crawlers maybe via an off road route

then drive to top truck event and camp and drink and be merry

then fly/sleep back home

[mudlva]

Im keen havnt been on holiday for a good while what is the dates etc will need to know about school holidays etc. at a guess would 5k be enough for the wife and kid oh and me as well

[Jerry]

yeah, how much, 4wd show and rock crawlers and 4wd shops as well sounds good.....

[coxsy]

checked with minister of finance ok let us know we're in

[Jafa]

Jafa might be too scared to enter his truck

Yer that shit will scratch my paint!

I'd love to enter, its exactly the sort of competition its suited to, fawkin expensive to get it over there tho, it'd be a 15-30k exercise I reakon. Maybe another year
Haynzy's idea has merit tho, pity the poor bugga who has to take the wheels tho

Anyway, I'm in for this trip.

[Dace]

[haynzy]

Small update, my lovely wife has tracked down the event organisers to start planning with dates and shit. Gonna twist they arms to give us a good deal

[callum007]

i did the 4wd show 4 years ago.. yes rock crawling was in early stages, but the show was a bit of a let down. mate did tuff truck 2 years ago. good weekend but damn expensive.. if you get some $$$ values going, i'll check with the boss lady

[haynzy]

She has been in contact with the event organisor and is in the process of looking at accomadation options and travel etc

[petefj40]

Wow. Wish i had a wife who was a travel agent!
Hey cheers for looking into it. Damn good idea!

Me and my brother are in for sure.

On top of this there will be a $25 per person departure tax to pay ex NZ at the airports (except for Auckland as it is already included)

Should anyone have any pre existing medical conditions additional charges may apply on your travel insurance.

Camping equipment will be at own expense.



Prices are based on multiple of 4 travellers so should numbers not be in multiples of 4 the costs may vary slightly.

Should anyone wish to add in extra days this is possible, if needed I can assist with additional accommodation prices etc.



Prices will be subject to availability until reservations are made and there are only limited number of packages for Tuff Truck 2010.



Please note:

With your entry for the weekend you get 2 nights camping in our bush camp grounds. Each camp site is flat grassy tree lined with easy access for all vehicle types. All camp sites have no power so if you need power please supply your own. We provide the best portable toilet facilities and have disabled toilets also. Limites shower passes available. Please bring your own drinking and washing water as it is a rural property in drought. Most basic needs are available at local towns or a short drive into Singleton.



We also provide two camping areas, one for the Families who need an earlier night and morning and a general camping area for those who might like to stay up later and sleep later. Follow the marshals and signs on the property when you arrive to choose your camp site.



The local town and RFS provide a catering facility. If you wish to have your meals catered for the weekend, more information will be provided with ticketing soon. If you want to just pick up a casual meal, they do great Bacon and Egg rolls for breakfast and Steak and Sausage sandwiches for lunch available to purchase each day. Dinner is a selection of chicken schnitzels or steaks with vegies and salad – you will not go hungry.


In order to reduce the danger to others, all glass containers and bottles are banned from the site. The Tuff Truck site is a "Glass Free Zone". There is a strict NO DOG policy. The land owners are extremely strict on pets and will not allow any pets on the property. Their own animals are extremely territorial and we want to ensure that there are no incidents between the farm animals and patrons pets. We have to respect the land owners wishes.



Absolutely no fire arms or fire works are allowed. No vehicles are to be moved during the weekend besides entering or leaving.
