    Good driving roads

    Hi peoples

    just received my new gti last weekend.

    Just wondering if anyone has any good suggestions on good driving roads around nsw especially from central coast to midnorth coast? Something fun and twisty would be awesome

    Thanks

    Avoid the beaten path and there's fun to be had.

    Kyogle Road is pretty twisty (Murwillumbah to Kyogle) and the Gwydir Highway (Grafton to Glen Innes) is pretty good too.

    Closer to Sydney there's the Bells Line of Road (Windsor to Lithgow), Old Pacific Highway (Hornsby to Gosford), Royal National Park (Heathcote/Waterfall to Wollongong) and Putty Road (Richmond to Singleton).

    I've driven those, and they're pretty entertaining.

    Further west, Mudgee to Bathurst via Sofala has some great hills and beautiful sweepers (as well as a couple of wicked blind double-apex bends to keep you on your toes).

    The Alpine Way down south is reportedly good too, though I haven't sampled it personally.

    This!
    I am not from NSW but it's always a fun drive when we go camping down south to take this one.

    AWESOME route , i grew up around there and used to drive from Tennyson to Lithgow along Bells LOR. Great corners, especially once you start to learn it.

    Few words of warning. Be very careful of the fixed speed cam at Kurrajong Heights (gets a lot of folks) and take your chances with the cops on a weekend as they know its a popular road. just keep straight speeds legal but hit the corners hard
