Have a look at your departure from YSCB too. Read the guides. From memory ask for clearance from ground with your taxi call. You will get your code etc as you are going along the taxiway. Stop taxi-ing when you get the info so you can write the details down. Don't trust memory, don't write and taxi at the same time or you might finish up on the grass. The taxiways are wide, resist the urge to speed. Have a good look at the aerodrome layout, a runway 30 departure requires crossing an active runway to get to your holding point. I do my runups at the parking bay before taxi to make it easier later. Change to tower when instructed at the holding point, same as BK. Airborne call and frequency change (if departing above 3500) just after take off.

PS - When VFR, I always go into CB via the Lake George North reporting point, but Lake Bathurst works too.
