Default Red Bull Air Race (I'm coming back to WA)

Well the dates for the Red Bull have been announced and I'm already pricing tickets and accommodation. I told ya I'd be back

17th and 18th April 2010 I'm aiming for 2 weeks this time instead of 1. So you guys that live in or around Perth help me plan my time there. I'm thinking I went east last time (Wave Rock) I'd like to see north and south this time.

If you don't know what the Red Bull Air Race is (what rock have you been under?) here is a clue

Boring watching them race the clock. It would be alot more interesting if they would race 2 planes at once.

We should catch up for a beer or 2 Mav?

Where you go and what you see will depend on how much time you have.
A lot to see down south and all close enough to Perth.
Up North? Well its great but it's a lonnnggg way to go.

I don't know what your plans are, but these guys are good value if you want to wedge a ride in.

I can almost see the planes racing from my place

That last pic is of the Roulettes is it not?

When I was there last time they had a special on a plane flight to the pinnacles 1 day trip instead of 2 days on the bus

Yep, I'll do the Westcoast Safaris tour with you no worries.
Might get a few others on board as well.

If I can organise a spare bike we can have a bit of a trundle around the Perth hills as well.

The Roulettes were at Phillip Island last weekend.
Top stuff.

The Pinnacles heh?
mmmm Maybe a ride up there as well.

Lets see how we go heh.
Plenty of time yet.
Might be able to rope Woz in for something as well.
