Out West most cruises end up with a run down the zigzag road. This may not be 'the' zigzag road as I havent actually driven it (richo? nik?) but i believe this is the one...

I second The Black Spur

If you can have a drive without getting stuck behind a friggen grandma doing the lot at 40km/h, and then there is the Bikes...

but word of warning i was reading the paper 2 weeks ago and they are carrying out Operation Tree Light or something like that.
Got the plod wearing camo's and sitting in the trees who then radio's to a squad car further down the rd.

Apparently clocked a bike at 267, that's insane if you have ever driven the black spur.

Also its been a while but in SA i remember a place out past Tea Tree Gully, out chain of ponds way, cant remember the name of the Rd but i remember there is like caves in the hills along the way.

For the north of Sydney, some of my favourites are
Old Pacific Highway Peats Ridge to Berowra
Galston Road Galston, thru Galston Gorge
Wisemans Ferry to St Albans Settlers Rd (a bit of dirt action)
You need to pick and choose your times to run these roads to avoid the usual tourist traffic, police, bikers etc but a clear run will have you coming back.

totally forgot about the great ocean road . .  .dammit

Has to be one of the best roads iv ever driven, as the black spur, its no fun if your stuck behind grandma going 40km the whole way

Can any where in Oz beat The Great Ocean Road . . . ? 

i personally dont think so . . . but please guys provide links to show the best of the best!

Tabone,

I disappointed you missed Arthur Seat in Dromana, apart from being a little short, its sweet. 

The black Spur is always a favorite, but i would also second, St Andrews to King Lake. The twisty tight bits are oh so dangerous, but oh so sweet.

Uriarra, brindabella and cotter Rd in ACT is loved by the locals here.

Just not by Me

Bruce Hwy to Paluma on Mount Spec in Nth Queensland without all the weekenders and in a hot Subaru :secret:

I love me some Mt. Nebo on a Thursday night with the boys. But I am a P-Plater.

Ku-Ring-Gai Chase Rd...

called the chase by locals (for obvious reasons)

it has tolls at each end by day, but by night some fast runs can be made...

i don't have the guts/balls to push it any more than 7mins 30sec (toll gate to toll gate) give or take...

my mate did it in just over 6mins in his Silvia...

rock walls on one side, tree lined drops on the other...

maybe not the best, but good none the less...

The Run UP and DOWN Mount Hotham is also pretty good - During summer if you don't get caught behind some slow tourist..

You forgot Church Street, Marv, and Mulgoa Road...


I'd say that the Northern Stretch of Putty Road has to be some of the nicest driving road I've been on, ever.

Been there. Not bad. But you gotta come down here and I'll take you on some of the roads I've told you about. GOR at night, Dandenongs and the Basin/Olinda gravel run Ask Gil about it... It's up on sportstracker btw
