NOW SEALED !! Good news, thanks Rob.
There's been plenty of times when I would have used that road, but haven't because it WAS unsealed. I'll have a crack at it soon. :lol:

Had a crack at the Gembrook-Launching Place road tonight :D
From Pakenham to Gembrook, then Launching Place & on to Warburton. Would have turned off at Yarra Junction & done the Powelltown run, on through Neerim South, Jindivik & home to Paky.....but left too late for this, so came home the same way we went. Absolutely fantastic road & a beautiful night for top down cruising.
Thanks Rob, for letting us know about this well kept secret. Rates pretty high on my list now as one of the best roads & it's right on my doorstep. 8)

Nice bit of road, truly. Watch out for loose gravel on the tighter curves.

Cheers,
Alf.
