Anyone know of any good roads to take on the way down from QLD?

Post by **dstocks** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 9:00 am

Id be surprised if there wasnt a group going down from Sydney. Get a hold of Bennoz, rockit, or some of the other Sydney members and find out when they are going. I know taffysturbo is trying to hook up with a group in Woolongong as well.

Might have convinced bushido to turn up too!

As to roads from QLD, I think the road through Armidale is best for the first section. If you can manage to do putty road on the way through Sydney that has some nice twisties. And Clyde mountain pass is about 10 minutes from my place (and on the way) and that can be fun too. I know some of the others sometimes do Kangaroo valley as well.

I thought that the route we took last time was brilliant, much better than the 1st one we did. Nice and early meet up at Pheasants Nest. Only problem is, I can't remember the way after that. We went into Batemens Bay for breakfast and supplies (ice etc) first then headed to Dwaynes. If Aza can give me them directions I'll be happy to lead a group from there early on Saturday.

Thanks Aza, looks quite straight forward. I've not checked out LOLcar's new thread yet but I'll be happy to lead this. Tarkus, it's 3 hours to B.Bay. Should we meet there at 9am? I'll PM you my number now.

To make it to and from my place with a distance of 650kms I have to average 13.08l/100kms
