NSW - Sea Cliff bridge

[dissin]

flying back from MElbourne to Sydney, i noticed that the new bridge along the coast, south of sydney is awesome from the air, and im sure it would be a great drive too

anyone confirm this? and what area is that ?

Bridge is poor for MX5s. You can't see over the railing.
As for the drive, bridge is boring but you do National Park before that and that's great at night with no traffic or early morning with the bikes.

The area is south of Stanwell Park, looky here

Hi

It is Simone from MX5 Mania and I am using a friends log on to give this info to you.

I received this email from Greg today with a link to his website. It may be helpful.
Hi David & Simone,

Just in response to your member \"dissin - learner driver\" illustrated on the forum page.(Here is the page for your reference)

I would like to offer him to view our website www.grandpacificdrive.com.au which may help his journey he may be planning to make.

It would be great to hear your thoughts also.

Thank you for your time.

I bought my MX5 about 1 month ago and took it for a spin from Syd to Woollongong. Like Charlie Brown said, the bridge is OK and you can't see over the railing. I went at night, but am definately going to go back during the day sometime.

I will also confirm that the twisties leading up the bridge however in the national park are very fun for the car.

Advise people to give it a go if they have some time.

did the trip down there yesterday. awesome.

live in south sydney took the main highway down to woolongong, forget the road i took but heading to a couple of loopkouts was great fun. scary at times,

also if you ever do take the cliff bridge. make sure you have heaps of room to open up your car along it. even do as i did and pull pver to let the slow ppl go past and get well in front.

make sure you all go through the royal national park aswell. staying in there from stanwell till loftus. really makes you apprieciate the power and handeling the mx5 has.

i was on the bridge a couple of weeks ago. even in my freinds 4wd i couldn't see over the railing. i did it a few months back in my mx5 and thought i'd get a beter view on a bigger car, but no, not realy. still nice tho.

[tommy06]

yeah it is a bit high... wasnt too bad when i go on the motorbike...
still a nice drive up there... gotta love taking the mx5 up there.. or anywhere in fact

When we were in sydney we went horse riding @ bald head i think it is
well we came out of the bush at bald head

I saw that bridge and thought I am going to do my dandest to do that drive!

And i did!
all the way to the gong for a bit of gong lapping!

i thought it was a good drive!

I did that road a couple of days ago. I tend to agree with those who found the view too blocked off.

There are good roads all around that part of the coast though. I went from Sydny to just short of Bateman's Bay when I headed inland to Canberra via Braidwood.

Good fun.

I love this road It's in my backyard virtually. Been riding it for years on bikes, and just as much fun in a 5 . The only things that really suck about this road are the 60km/h speed limit ( which I tend to ignore at my peril!!! ) And definitely too crowded on the weekends.
Pick a nice sunny day in the middle of the week, and even with the low speed limits, it's world class.
