Guest Phantom Guests Posted 16/12/02 05:12 AM Share Posted 16/12/02 05:12 AM A drive through Kangaroo Valley is a good day trip from Sydney.Very scenic and a good chance to use the torque up the windy mountain road.A nice sound combination of bellbirds and turbo whine.

Guest DZ. Guests Posted 16/12/02 06:07 AM Share Posted 16/12/02 06:07 AM There's a stretch of road that goes over the Great Dividing Range from Casino to Taree. I go across every three to six months - 100 km of windy roads through hills. Awesome fun although it can be a bit hairy at night if you don't know the road and slow traffic can be a pain.It's about 120 km and takes me 1 hour and 20 minutes in my VT Berlina (tyres make all the difference in that car) - I'm keen to try it in the XR one day :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMoffat Member 744 Member For: 22y 1m 10d Posted 16/12/02 08:20 AM Share Posted 16/12/02 08:20 AM Casino to Taree, that's more than 120 kilometres!I'd try either, Thuderbolts Way from Nabiac to Walcha, then the Oxley Highway from Walch to Port Macquarie. Real Ducati territory, twists, open sweepers and flat out blasts.Or, the Mount Gibraltar Road from Grafton to Glen Innes. More of the same, but not quite as good.

And while you're out there, check out the HUGE radio telescopes at Tidbinbilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long (15km) strech of very curvy roads with almost every turn being a hairpin. I had heaps of fun going up and down in the Pulsar when I was down there (return trip almost every day for two weeks). Would be worth the trip just to take the XR6T for a spin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MrSparkle Guests Posted 16/12/02 11:59 PM Share Posted 16/12/02 11:59 PM Some great runs there guys!Some of my favourites :(1) Macquarie Pass - down Wollongong way - very tight hill climb, unfortunately quite a bit of traffic most times(2) The road to Natural Bridge out the back of the Gold Coast - and back down to Murwillumbah - fantastic hill climb with some interesting stages (including a couple of 2 into 1 lane bridges with stop signs!)(3) Pacific Hwy - Berowra to Gosford (when there's no sign of Mr Plod!) - my old "home track" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DZ. Guests Posted 17/12/02 12:13 AM Share Posted 17/12/02 12:13 AM I can vouch for the Gold Coast area runs! :D Also a few good runs going out to the back of Currumbin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
