G'day mate,
From their website...

Winton Motor Raceway is a 3.0km circuit in national configuration and a 2.03km circuit in Club configuration located near Benalla just off the Hume Highway, Victoria. The circuit has been established for over 40 years and host Motorcycle, Motor Car and Superkart racing as well as having vehicle product testing facilities.

Cheers.

I'd give yourself another hour or so from Broardford
I think it's a great little track used to go and camp there every year for the v8 round

It's a great circuit, about a half hour south of the border, farly close to Brown Bros. Winery.

I can actually foresee some problems on my next visit there. The Alfas all have enough boot or interior space for a case plus of Browns' finest. I really can't say that about the SLK, within which travelling very light is definitely encouraged.

May have to avail myself of their delivery service.

No problems Gary - I did the Hunter Valley - going there with the lid down and coming back with the lid up :wink:

Ahhhh ....

But the Hunter is a simple day trip. Hell, if you're there for a weekend and find yourself overbooked for space, it's an easy trip back home to drop off the surplus and then return to continue touring.

You can't do that with a Brown Bros visit, I'm afraid.

And driving around the Milawa region (or the Hunter) with the top up???

Go wash your mouth out with soap!

My partner would often have to return from a wine trip with her feet on the dash due to cases on the floor. Other drivers liked it :lol:
