I posted a couple of Pix on a Thread from Fellow Monaro Newbie,skoff and thought you may like to see more. Early 2010,i went over to Oz for a long weekend to attend the 70th Birthday Party of an Aussie Speedway Rider that i used to Pit Crew for.
My Sis and Bro' in Law live in North Sydney and took me to Bathurst for a look round. Like the IOM TT course,the Track is actually Public Roads that get shut for Race Days.

Touristy Pics,first;

















Then the Drive;

Some fantastic shots there, thanks for posting.

You can really imagine the big thumping V8s charging through some of those corners...
