80 kpm zone

60 kpm. Policed.

Take the Freeway route. Avoid Route 83 on this occasion.

Construction limits this section to 80 kpm

Hawkesbury bridge is 110kpm. Be aware of trasffic banking back from the 90 kpm area on the north side of the bridge. It catches people unawares and inattentive drivers end up panic braking at the last second.

100 kpm limit but 90 kpm if raining.

Keep on the F3

Glenworth Valley horseriding school on the left in Cooks road.

This is coming into a 60 kpm zone due to trucks entering the quarry on your left up ahead

Keep to the left of this big junction to keep heading north. 70 kpm.

Enter the cross roads carefully. Uncontrolled intersection.

Lots of 100 kpm ahead of you. Narrow single lane road. Be careful of overtaking cars and motorcycles.

This is a good spot to stop for a toilet and coffee break. People from the Central coast can meet us here. The cafe is on the right with tables out front and plenty of room to park.

This is very ptetty country but the road is bumpy in a few spots. Watch the surface closely and enjoy this scenic ride.

Over the next 6 kms be wary of the tight bends and one offcamber corner before Wollombi which is right hander with armco fencing ready to capture you if you fall. Speed will be your undoing. Read the speed signs.

Watch for traffic here as this is a busy little township with the pub accounting for most activity here on the left as you enter Wollombi. Turn right here. We will stop here for a bum break.

Suburban area. Will encounter 60 kpm limits

Your are on Cessnock Road and coming into some populated areas

Do a left onto station st then a right soon after onto First St to get into Kurri Kurri. This is a main route so should be clear to follow.

do a hard right onto Mitchell Ave. Roundabout

Concentrated suburban township. Turning left on Lang Street. Roundabout.

State Route 135

Suburban area.

Just a small locality on State Route 135

We do a right turn on this roundabout. It is likely to be pretty busy. If this is two lanes ( most likely) we will keep to the right lane.

This is the New England highway

Turn left onto Melbourne St signposted as tourist Route 31

Final destination. Lots of cafe lunch stops along Swan Street.

We can go home back to Kurri Kurri but then take route 135 south until it joins Route 82. This is a south ward run that takes us through Pelaw Main and down to freemans waterhole and onto the F3 again for a run home.
