Did a quick spin up the new road to the junction with the Golden Highway..... cuts 30 minutes off !
Beautiful road, dual lanes, no major hill or tight bends as you would expect.
Lovely rest area part way along will make a good overnighter !

I forgot that it opened yesterday (Saturday 22nd) Rosie, or I would have gone for a drive myself. Might check it out during the week though.

Speaking of Newcastle freeway.....anyone been southbound from the Newcastle end on the M1 lately??? Did it a few weeks ago and ended substantially cursing the road conditions with those god-awfull repairs that have been done to the southbound travel lane. Fairly shook up our new van and tipped that stupid pull-out pantry virtually upside down.. And No ....tyres were not rock hard and doing 80-90 kmh. I suppose if we are to have third world roads then third world repairs are done to them...pretty silly really.
can you help me the new Pacific Highway over pass does it miss the hexham bridge
to raymond terrace I hope so would't that be good!!!!!
It does not bypass Raymond Terrace.
It goes north west, bypassing Maitland, making it a good run from Sydney to the New England Hwy at Branxton.
Raymond Terrace and the Pacific Hwy are not involved.
BTW going for a quick drive up it this afternood for a sticky beek.
