There are several water crossings on Friday that would become quite deep with excess rainfall, they are certainly deep now.

If anyone is venturing inland, especially Fridays stages, it can get very cold and weather in the Orara Valley and up to Dorrigo can be in complete contrast to Coff Harbour. So while the guys at the service park might be in sunshine and thinking of taking the short walk to the beach, the inland stages could be 10 degrees colder and wet.

However, fine Spring weather is the most likely scenario and should be dry for most of the week.

I live in Armidale, so know all to well about the cold weather.. Def pack a jumper and long pants for the stages inland :)

It was nice to hear Henning Solberg commit his intentions about competing in Australia on World Rally Radio. There was some doubt about it and his name was left off the FIA entry list but he was on a Rally Australia list.

Good point. Sometimes it feels like this forum is sunday-spectators forum...

I received today a signed postcard from the Australian motorcycle racer Mitchell Pirotta and the card was completely wet (here it is dry).
