Now that QBABY's clutch works and the airbox isn't as rorty but actually works, Q decided it was time for a run down the coast. Found some nice cruise spots if we run another bigger one soon. Q can provide commentary... I'm off to work ;)

hehehe..its taking forever for those pics to load with my dial up :p
anyway....went for a drive down to Mt Saddleback lookout which is between Jamberoo and Kiama....
all those shots are pics from Mt Saddleback lookout bar the last one.
You really have to be there, to experience the view in person....its a really nice spot...good spot to put some deck chairs out...and you could sit there all day lol....
tyres got a bit hot from the descent down the mountain lol....
after this....went back up to the minamurra falls rd, kept on going straight up, then through the winding road travelling at a nice 40kms/hr. Any faster, you'd be over the side of the cliff :p
after getting out of the winding road section, the road opens up a bit...you go through Buderoo National Park..stopped off at another lookout...that's where the last shot is taken at....
the air is real fresh up there :)
kept on following this road through, and got to Robertson. It's a really nice drive if you want some country views, and fresh air.
Stopped by Robertson Pie shop for a pie....then headed back through Robertson and Bowral, back to the Hume....
Drove on the boring hume for a while, before heading off at the Bargo exit, to go to the Avon and Nepean dams....you take any pics of these Pete?

Tackled the road to the Avon Dam first....its about 8 km of winding road.. lots of leaves and crap on the road....so you just drive down the middle...it had a bit more space than the road up past minamurra falls.
past the one lane bridge, and get to the entrance of the dams, and the speed sign states 10km/hr....what a laugh....slowed down to attempt to do that speed and started laughing...across the bridge...which stated a amazing 5km/hr....go figure lol....
and down to the dam...this dam has two big pillars...bit of a grand entrance...
I've taken pics of the car here ages ago...will have to get them scanned.... anyway..nice relaxing spot...
left this one, and headed for nepean dam....this one is a straight forward one....on the other side of the dam..there is this big channel...all concrete..obviously for water to run down..but water is so low..never seen it go down there...it'd be a great spot if you could get a go kart or anything down there with wheels for a run..its like a huge channel....too bad...you wouldn't be able to get anything down there...
after that...just headed up back up the hume...and headed home...
