Finished recce except for the Super Special which we do tonight. Stage 1 is new and uses bits of Tuckers Knob from last year, quite rough for 4km then on. Stages 2 and 3 are the same as last year, stage 3 having severe humps/jumps near the major speccy point which there will be some carnage.
Nambucca 4km stage is great except the section after about 29 km where it links in through some real rough private land. Valla stage is very short compared to previous years, still good though and very smooth surface.
Car has been through scrutiny, all good. Shakedown in the morning, then rally show tomorrow night.
Time to go and tidy my notes now.

Good luck Ray. Hope it is fun. Could not make it, stuck in Brisbane with a shocking influenza
Drove shakedown and four other stages... Oh man it's gonna be a good rally.

Little bit of rain, nothing major. Might be some fog with the variation in temperature.

Where are all the spectators? Couldn't see nearly any spectators in WRC shakedown footage... Or is Australia one of those countries where the majority of spectators visit service park and liason sections (a bit like Japan)...
Colins crash lol

Start list to the first leg of Rally Australia - http://rally-base.com/2014/coates-hi...TimeTypeId=487
Only 27 crews at the start. And top crews with 3 minutes gaps! Poor spectators...
Yes, there is lot of national cars. But it is primary mistake of FIA, that there must be cars with only national homologation. And big problem for me as a fan (if I should stay at the stage) are three minutes gaps, this is too much to enjoy rallying...
Very dry here today. Going to be very dusty.
Is WRC radio working for you guys? (if anyone awake...)
Now is on
Just now
..and the first split is on!
Oh my, how much faster JML is?!?
Just a glitch it seems
a little strange times on SS1. Ogier drove off instead of wasting time.
Yeah - everyone is complaining about lack of grip
Europe seems to be still at sleep? :)
Hello Sweden...
So, after SS1 Ogier is out of the range...
I am here also, but it looks like it will be boring again...
It's possible that SS1 was cleaner because of shakedown drove there yesterday.
