Damo,
I think Pete has answered your hypothetical question in hours in would to take to travel to 1770 from Brisbane (from the Northside), I know Pete and he's not a real big drinker so he would probably struggle to answer your other hypothetical question on how many stubbies it would require from Brisbane.
I will attemp to answer the other half of your question..............
My place (southside) to Gateway Bridge - 2 stubs
Gateway Bridge to Bruce Hwy - 2 to 3 stubs (allowing 1 stop)
Bruce Hwy to Nambour - 2 stubs
Nambour to Gympie - 2 stubs
Gympie to Maryborough - 2 stubs (allowing 1 stop)
Maryborough to Bundaberg - 7 stubs (allowing 1 to 2 stops)
Please note that I leave early to get to this M&G, so by this time it should be around 7am.
The run from Bundy to Agnes is pretty quiet, around 3 to 4 stubs,mind you I cant drink to much on the way up as I know that the first night is usually a big one.
As this question is hypothetical, can I put a hypothetical question to you?
Im assuming that you possibly like a drink....hey,your'e only human!!!
You should get in a drink off with Newby,what you do is get him onto the Jack Daniels...may take a bit of work to get him started but it's worth a try,what you should do is also have a bet with him who can drink the most,mate if your'e a drinker you will whip his a**,saw a bloke take a couple of hundred off him last year.
Anyway Damo, I have put down the challenge to you and hopefully answered your question.
Get serious and commit to this M&G, you wont be dissapointed!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers
Paul
