Yeah some gorgeous country and not far out of Sydney time wise but people are scared of corners so everyone only travels on freeways
time wise takes 1h 45m-1h 50m doing the speed limit i wouldn't know how fast if you were driving a porsche
Good spot up the putty, use to travel the road often as it was easier from our old place when heading north rather than doing the Penno rd thing. The mill up along the road before the Putty turn off is a good place for bulk firewood if you need a semi load!
The is some great spots up in the area I mentioned in the McDonald Valley for camping blocks although getting dearer now days. I did have a share with my 2 brothers in a 100 acre block in the upper McDonald valley. Great country on the sometimes dry river with Blue Gum forest.
