I'd be looking at Cliffhanger.. MUCH cheaper, and everything is on one property instead of 400klms apart.

from all reports take heaps of water and a rain jacket as it is always one extreme or the other :D

But yes am told not the most flowing event and miles apart each stage and nearly imposible to follow if say you had a mate competing......

As long as you could get the heads up on the most entertaining sections to watch and have a big crew there to swill some piss and you might be ok...

Would be what you make it but just as for most big events a bit slow...

2 hrs at winch challenges at cruiser and i was over it but whatever floats your boat.... and there is some nice trucks and big horse power driveline crushers heading down so might be worth a look.. :armsup:

Been a spectator at the previous 2 years and many other events and i would suggest looking at cliffhanger or another event , as spectators are not looked after at all .
Also in my personal opinion it would have to be the most overpriced and worst organised event there is .

I've been to both events, without a doubt Cliffhanger is a miles better spectator event, from both a viewing point and a social point. At Cliffhanger you can camp in one spot and have a well sorted camping area, you get catered for with great food and a get to hang out with other like minded crew and chat with competitors and check out the rigs. Cliffhanger all the way. OBC is a good, but not worth the $$.
