Decided to go for a 3 week cruise from S.A through coastal Victoria past (mornington pennisula)

along Batemans bay all the way to along the NSW coast to Sydney !!!!

What are the best towns and accomodation to visit along the way and stay at !!!!!

we will be hiring cabins or staying at hotels 2 or 3 days at a time thumbsup.gif Thanks

Pt Campbell is small but has a lot of tourist stuff around like the 12 Apostles, Loch Arch gorge and similar. You could easily spend a full day along there, although rug up. It'll be getting to filthy weather time about now down that area and it can get very cold.

If not 1hr further from Pt Campbell (from SA) is Apollo Bay - a bit bigger with some other cool stuff to checkout like the "tree walk" thing, Apollo Bay pier, Mariners lookout etc. Also some ok places to eat (Chris's light house restaurant in Skenes Creek is apparently very good).

You goin to Queenscliff and getting the Ferry across?

Apollo Bay on the great ocean road will be worth the visit also the ferry could be the good as ive never been down that way before , have you been to inverloch , sale or bairnsdale before ?

is it worth visiting as well ?

Thanks

You'll go past the main tourist type sights if you go to Apollo Bay, hence suggestion Pt Campbell. Although it's not a "far" trek backwards if you are in Apollo Bay for 2-3 days. Plenty of cheap accomm this time of year although there is the Apollo Bay music festival - you'll have to check when thats on as i think its around this time of year. You'll wanna avoid that.

Bairnsdale is a smaller country style town. I'd recommend stopping in Lakes Entrance as the better choice there. Its much bigger.

Once you get into NSW I know from Nowra north;

Kangaroo valley

Macquarie Pass (do NOT miss this one)

Bulli pass (go uphill, without traffic...)

Seacliff bridge (you'll recognise it from car ads, awesome pub on a cliff at one end)

Royal National park

All that is one after the other eg the roads lead to each other. If you like, pm me and I'll send maps down when I've got a chance

Then the next day there's bells line of road, Victoria pass (only decent with no one else around), putty rd, old pac, wisemans ferry, galston gorge

You can do all that in one day but it's an effort, take two days to do those ones so that's 3 days of solid corners around sydney :)

how one can contain themselves when driving mt panorama.......... :D

skip Chris' at skene's creek, over-priced and nothing special - will not be going back in a hurry. Poor service too for the prices they were charging

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
