Best driving road in australia

[Fonzie]

Wait, scratch that, I did find a pretty awesome road a few months back... On Phillip island, in the Summerlands. The location is nuts, On the cliffs directly over the southern ocean. But the driving is sh'ouse - It's gravel.

Google Maps Link.

The following pictures were taken on that road... Not as in 100m off the road, As in i was standing in the middle of the road to take the pics.


Wishing I had a DSLR and a decent lightning storm over the ocean when I was there.

Birdsville track

Dirt road 500 + Kms, Dusty, long, boring, barren, dry, pot holes what more can you ask for

well i crossed the nullarbor (in a vy calais) and that is the best road ever once you hit the the 90 Mile Straight you can just open it up

Any road in Tassie would just about answer your question though four that really spring to mind are the cethana targa state, the drive from scottsdale down to bicheno, north motton to gunns plains then through to penguin and hellyer gorge on the way to strahan ( I grew up in tassie where the grass is cheap the cops are reasonable and the beer is real). There are some great roads allover victoria including the drive through the grampians (small hint start at dunkeld and go up I found it way more fun than coming the other way)

For Sydney people wanting a 3/4 day outing, what about the Putty Rd. Head north out of Windsor to Singleton.

Great for bits of straight line speed, hair raising S bends and death defying Hair-Pins, finish of the day with a cruise back to Sydney via the New England or Pacific Hwy

I LOVED the Pacific Hwy when I drove to Newcastle a few years ago. Just comming out of I think Hornsby it turns into a real nice windy forest run.

I do that run every no n then, heading north or south is awesome. position the car in the perfect line & you'll slingshot through it.

Isnt there a speed camera somewhere on the track?
