This is 37 km of nice flowing road ending in an 14km drop down to the dam with numerous hairpins and blind corners. The road is narrow and limited to 60kph for the last part but is still a treat and you are rewarded with great views. The run out is superb with good vision from corner to corner.

Did a drive out to Burrinjuck last year in a Nissan Patrol, and didn't notice anything particularly special about the road I took...

Which route is good?

I went from Canberra to Yass, then down toward Wee-Jasper,

A quick look on Google Maps shows a few corners on the southern side of Wee Jasper, but never got that far (trout fishing took precedence over hard cornering in a 4x4).

Take the Burrinjuck Road turn-off from the Highway, about 6 km on the Yass side of Bookham. Follows the old railway to the dam.
