Best driving road

[custardtart]

I guess like a few peeps I've been feeling drained of any driving enthusiasm by a few hundred $$$ of penalty notices and the general steness of day 2 day driving in Sydney. So I thought in an effort to revive some enthusiasm I ask for inspirational roads to just go out and drive?

I'll kick it off with a new one for me, recently discovered; the road from Lithgow to Newnes. This road was recently tarmac'd apparently to allow wealthy Sydneysiders to drive to the uber chic new Emirates resort on the outskirts of Newnes.

Whatever, it's an absolute gem and up there with the best roads I've driven anywhere - except the course chip road surface is shocking but give it a couple of summers to bed in and perfection beckons.

Raising this one again as I've been checking our some of the roads mentioned and it looks like a great way to spend a weekend.

I'm going to put a bit of an itinerary together probably for an Oct weekend and see if anyone else is up for it.

Initial thoughts would be to leave Sydney on Friday night and stay somewhere north of Windsor then up the Putty Rd the next day and into those roads around the Bylong Valley, staying somewhere Sat night and finding more roads to do before a long haul back to Sydney via Singleton and the 33 through Wollombi.
