We are going to Armidale next week and then across to Coffs harbour to meet up with friends and I am wondering which is the best road to travel, We are towing a 21 foot van behind a Pajero, we have not travelled this way before so information on road conditions would be greatly appreciated.

Starting think about what we will be doing in WA next year, and were wondering what fellow forum members thought of their time spend on the Gibb River Road. We have a 2003 Nissan Patrol, towing a 21' Kedron off road ATV - totally self contained - as long as we have sunlight and water. We did the Oodnadatt...

Announced on local radio yesterday that there will be a new bypass around Berry soon. Work on South Nowra highway is going well but still lots of delays. One day the route to Sydney will be as good as the Hume Hwy.

Gday... I am contemplating travelling from Inverell to Grafton NSW via Gwydir Hwy. From what I can see on Google, there is a twisty, steep (?) section in the middle, around Washpool Nat Pk. Has anyone been through there recently with a big van? I assume it is steep downhill going east? How difficult is t...

They must be pouring all their money into the Bruce Hwy - the New England Hwy on the Qld side is quite rough. We were bounced all over the place. -- Edited by neilnruth on Saturday 13th of October 2012 06:58:28 PM

Soon we are heading off from Batemans Bay to Eden. We are thinking of taking the coast road (not Princes Hwy), turning off the highway after Tilba and going through Bermagui, Tathra, Merimbula & Pambula to Eden. With the caravan at 2.6t & 28 foot long (overall), is this route suitable? Other p...

Peak Downs Highway Hubby and I just drove down to Theresa Creek Dam from Mackay. It was our first time here and oh boy what a road to avoid. Just outside of Nebo there are many ks of road works and in between are the most horrid stretches of bumpy, dipsy, doozy raggedy stretches of bitumen, and a lot of traf...

There's a lot of road works going on and much more traffic than there used to be. Trucks, semi's, road trains, wide loads, and mining vehicles. And Caravans! Be sure you have your UHF on Ch 40.

Because much of inland NSW is under water the bugs population is massive. As I drove through this state from north to SW the bugs sounded like heavy rain in the windscreen. The washer and wipers just couldn't cope, despite a thick blend of "Bug Off" in the washer bottle. The headlights, dr...
