The nearest "international" airport to Kosciusko National Park is Canberra, which is a nice 2 - 3 hour drive and only gets flights from Sydney, Adelaide, and other Australian territories (why even bother calling it "international" :groan:)
This would be a perfect finish line location despite its airport direct destination choices and long drive. :)

It's called Canberra International Airport because Air Pacific had flights there to Nadi for about a year or so in 2006. They could also do a massive drive from Sydney or something to get to a Mt. Kosciusko in the early morning to have a sunrise finish which would be epic.

As someone who lives in Canberra I will settle this argument.
Yes Canberra Airport is technically a domestic airport (no international flights) but they are currently upgrading the airport to make it an international airport and (possibly) Sydney's 2nd Airport to be connected to Sydney by a High Speed Rail.
So yes as of 2012 it would be nearly impossible to have a finish line in the Canberra/SE NSW area but in the coming years it would be more viable.

Thanks for your feedback! :hithere: Would love to see TARAus feature a finish line in Canberra. Perhaps in the pre-international stage, they could have the final 3 teams sign up for charter flights via Sydney to Canberra.
