Its also a stones throw from town and the track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would not put so much pressure on those travelling from Wollongong, Canberra or even further south. An overnight stay also means we don't have such a hectic pace, and we can socialize a bit more in the evening.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladly handing the reins over to you.I would be OK with an overnight stay as I have relatives there which is why I am always up there anyways and gives me a place to stay for free I would be hoping for Bells road and the Jenolan, Oberon Bathurst on the way up. Then perhaps this other road that was talked about in this thread from bathurst to Lithgow on the way back then back down the mountains the normal way for an easy trip home assuming it aint hte oberon road.Trumpy you gonna come and bring a camera again?Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff the Great Western Hwy.....No. It ain’t the Oberon Rd. It is a series of back roads that are so quiet that last time I went to the 1000, I left just after the presentation and only saw one other car on the entire trip back to Lithgow. It was shown to me by a mate who used to live along the route, about 15km out of Bathurst. He suggested it as an alternative when the Highway was closed due to snow at Mount Lambie one weekend. I have since used it for trips home from the 1000 or just as an interesting alternative to the Highway, although I haven’t used it for about 4 years, since my mate moved out of Bathurst.Whilst it is no big secret I would rather not publish the details on the Interweb as I’m sure the locals don’t want their quiet roads turned into a major thoroughfare, even for just one day of the year. I will prepare some legible directions and PM them to MissXR and anybody else who is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch them all the time...I have received the route we will be taking ( I hope, thanks sharkey ), just have to pick a date and type it up.... will do this very soon. I have a heap of stuff to give away ( Oh no it's V8 supercar stuff ), so I have been thinking what can I do to make the cruise just a little more interesting.
