Best Way there coming from Melbourne

[mrs ratbox]

there's central coast gosford etc for accom even once up to newy you gotta get a bit off the hwy to get to accom i think it's a fair way up before there's accom on or near the hwy
highway's good for getting to somewhere not so good if you want to stop along the way

driving to sawtell from the blue mountains and back again a few times
i found the best time to do cumberland - pennat hills road
is between 11pm and 4am or as cal and stewart said between 10am and 2pm isnt that bad
still trafic but not peak hour
or as Tim sugested the country way is very nice

Thanks guys,

My big 59 desoto sailed through the mess of modern crap years ago easily by using the pennant hills way off peak with no real dramas.

In 06 i got stuck heading north through Sydney on a Friday arvo, that was crap, but no worse than Melb or Brisbane at peak hour

Cheers

I just don't get why you would go near Sydney if travelling from Melb to Sawtell unless you physically wanted to visit Sydney on the way
Heaps quicker straight up the Newell

you mean we'd be driving through Narrandera again?!!?!!? That last stretch of 100 odd kays damn near bored me to death....
