Try travelbag. Not sure what their web address is but it should come up on google. Service we've always had has been good.

Yes travel bag do agreat job, do stop overs & if you want any internal flights book at the same time its cheaper & they charge I think £25 for every amendment.

Chass.

Well - tis all booked and good price I thought. Flying Royal Brunei to Dubai then on to Oz for the grand total of £1004 for the 2 of us inclusive of taxes etc etc.

Trust me to go out in Summer though Oh hang on - I can get some biking in while i'm there too.... Ahhh Mmmmm Trackday weather methinks

Trackdays in Australia are an odd beast if I remember correctly.

They aren't nearly as accessible as they are in the UK. I think they are also much more expensive. Another reason why not so many people do them is that it is difficult to just use a regular road bike. Bikes on track days need to be lockwired and have an oil catch tray I believe.

Of course none of this may be a problem if you're over there on the mighty Pound and hiring a bike for a day's pleasure.

Hmmm - just looked up trackdays in Oz. One company doing them charges $125 Oz dollars which I reckon is quite cheap ?? or you can hire a bike for $495

Didn't bother to read all the bunf on it though. Something to think about if I get time I guess. Gotta get some track practice in while i'm away
