CB, top run! Loved the tight curves and didn't mind the dirt road either. If my wife wasn't with me I'm sure Agro's photo of me on the dirt trail would have been a sideways action shot. There was no body behind me so would have been okay. Cheers!

And the cows were Friesians.
(Holstein Friesian cows can be traced back more than 2000 years. They were first imported into Australia in the mid 1800’s. The name Holstein Friesian is derived from the province of Friesland in the Netherlands and Schleswig-Holstein in the Rhine delta region. They are characterized as being a versatile, large breed with medium milk composition and high milk yield. The breed’s colour is typically black and white, ranging from almost totally white to totally black. They are the most numerous dairy breed in Australia making up more than 60 % of commercial milking cows in Australia.)
Depart the Blow Hole.
Turn left into Manning Street
131.1 Bear right and follow the Nowra signs to rejoin the Highway.
The old Kiama “Esses†are pretty tamed now aren’t they?

Part two of the run sheet.
THE TRIP HOME
CAUTION Hampden Suspension Bridge. One lane.
This historical sandstone castle-like bridge on the main road from Kangaroo Valley to Moss Vale, was opened in May 1898. It is named after Viscount Hampden who was Governor of New South Wales at that time.
Blast up the mountain
ALTERNATE ROUTES HOME.
Alternate route No. 1…Boring but the fastest.
After cresting the mountain head straight on for Moss Vale and the expressway.
Alternate route No. 2 …Much better.
A couple of kilometers after the crest of the mountain turn right into Myravale Rd and head to Robertson and down Macquarie Pass.
A good smooth MX5 road but slow traffic can be a problem.
Follow through to Albion Park and turn left at the lights in the centre of town
Alternate route No. 3 …. Weeeee!!!!
Turn right into Myravale Rd and head to Robertson and go through Robertson and then turn right at the Robertson Pie Shop into Jamberoo Mountain Road.
A good MX5 road with little traffic. Plenty of twists here. When you get to the bottom, turn left onto the Jamberoo road that we used heading south and just retrace the route back to the Princes Hwy and up the expressway.
