Bonang Hwy, north of Orbost

Postby Duane » Fri Feb 03, 2012 8:54 pm

Over 100kms of non-stop Reefton spur style corners. 100km/hr speed limit. Almost zero traffic.

Awesome rd, I've dríven most Vic and NSW high country roads and this rates as one of my favourite.
It has a couple of short dirt sections but they are reasonable and pass quickly.

I have been meaning to try this road, is it quicker than going through Cann River to Orbost? I don't mind a couple of bits of dirt as long as it's not too chopped up. A couple of motorcyclists have recommended it too, but they were on adventure bikes.

I was there in February this year. The road is epic. Just corner after corner after corner after corner after corner......it goes on and on. Some of it was quite rough though.

Great road - here's the route I did on the bike a few year's back for anyone wanting to go down South when the weather warms up.

I'm looking at going down through the Bonang Hwy in about 16 months to NatMeet 2016. Thinking Tumut-Cooma-Bombala-Delegate-Lakes Entrance.

Have done Corryong to Jindabyne but could still be tempted to divert through Tumbarumba-Jindabyne and miss Cooma. However, Google Maps indicates that there a some long sections of unsealed from Jindabyne to Bombala. Is that still the case these days :?:

Searched about the interweb and it seems Jindabyne to Bombala is all sealed now. :mrgreen:
