Re: BEST ROADS IN AUSTRALIA

[Richard Clough]

Is that Reefton Spur Rd Errol?   A favourite old rally track! How about the Acheron Way from Mt Donna Buang T.O. to Grantham Rd (19 mins if I remember correctly) then Grantham Rd to the Marysville Rd. (being careful you dont approach the 1 lane Grantham Rd bridge sideways exiting the very fast sweeper from the Acheron Road T.O.) - 7 mins.?   My favourite is the Licola Road from North of Glenmaggie to Licola along the Macallister river valley.  54kms of challenging bitumen, from full bore over crests to heavy downhill braking into rock wall fronted hairpins. If you get any of it wrong - its serious.  Very hard on tyres and brakes.  The wildlife can also add a bit of interest - a stray black angus steer caught me once to the tune of $7000 damage (work car fortunately) but I still love this drive.   The Boola Forest Road from Tyers to Rawson is also a great high speed mountain blast. (18 mins)   Both of these roads are long twisty stretches with very low traffic volumes but infested by log trucks during the day.  ----- Original Message ----- From: E Smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 24 April 2002 15:14 PM Subject: RE: BEST ROADS IN AUSTRALIA From Warburton in Victoria up to Mt Donna Buang or up the reefton spur to Marysville and back to Healsville over the black spur.   Cheers Feral Errol   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of damien cm Sent: Wednesday, 24 April 2002 1:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: BEST ROADS IN AUSTRALIA   All this Targa talk has prompted me to ask the list 'what roads are your favourite to drive on?'   Mine are;   *Alpine Way from Jindabyne to Kanchoban in NSW *The countless roads that I have forgot the names of in Tas. *Kings Highway between Braidwood and Batemens Bay (Clyde mountain) in NSW *Mt Buller road between Merrijig and Mt.Buller in Victoria Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail.
