great road.. just have to have respect for it... i use to do midnight runs on friday and saturday nights....

Simple rule... fast in the corners and slow on the straights

But only do this once u get to know the road well.. keep an eye out for the corner speed signs.. u wont want to add more than 5km/h on to them

Great rd.. have fun on it

Slow in the straights is politically correct generic advice. Well, adding 5km/hr to the signposted corner speed suggestions will still keep you under the speed limit so its also acceptable.

As for whether 5km/hr over the corner signpost speeds actually constitutes "fast" or not, I'll leave unanswered.

So why post?

Just so everyone is clear. Yes it's a windy road and no, we do not condone doing anything on it other than driving sensibly at or below the speed limit.

lol i was waiting for a SAU disclaimer.

its a nice drive. No where near as nice as macquarie pass.

I think thats one of things I look forward to when I goto mates places in Bathurst/Mudgee - Bells Line!!!

Apparantly theres a mad country road from Lithgow to Bathurst which takes alot longer than the GWH - I know JETR23, DJ Brave, mznismo, Sam916 couldnt stop raving about it when they came up and saw us race at Bathurst!

the road to Tarana, S%^t yeah!!! most awesome road, we need Wayne as a tour guide, its a beautiful flowing drive through the country with some nice open sweeping corners where you can see miles ahead and the od nice twisty one aswell :blink:. I vote for another roadtrip there sometime when I'm back over here visiting from WA. :D

oh...and you wont find it that easily looking on a map, you really need somone who knows the area, i don't even know if the roads are mapped.

So is the natio run from syd to the gong...

Not if your car is low.

My car's at factory height and I bottom out repeatedly. Its worse north of the Waterfall entrance, but even in that bottom section through the trees there are a few spots I'll spark out.

That said, I took the girlfriend's MX5 through the entire run and it was great.
