Drinks are to be paid on consumption and include alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (cash and eftpos available).
Important - Bring your winter woolies, it will be chilly at this time of year!
History about the destination...
Established in 1823, Collits’ Inn is the first, and longest-standing building in the Blue Mountains region. Originally known as The Golden Fleece, Collits’ Inn was built by its namesake – former convict and unlikely entrepreneur Pierce Collits. In its first years, the inn served as an important piece of Australian history allowing a place for rest and a touch of home-grown comfort for those making the harrowing journey along the first-ever road from Sydney to Bathurst.
Important notes:
- The exact meet location (in Western Sydney) and time will be provided to registered attendees one week prior to the event.
- 5 watt CB radios are highly recommended for use, so drivers are aware of upcoming turns and potential hazards. The club will offer a few radios on the day for loan, however we recommend our regular attendees purchase their own.
- Cancellations can be made through the event via your login on the club website. This will allow someone who is on the waitlist to join us on the drive.
