Beaches To Desert - Part1 |
|
Beaches to Desert South Australia Trek - Notes by Bruce Black – Part 1 - Day 1 to 5 Day 1; Up at 5.30AM and on the road by 6.10AM. We decided after reaching Albury and taking the new by pass to give it ago and drive to Torquay in a day as the road is dual carriageway and 110kph. After 1139 kms we arrived in Torquay at 7.30PM. The only incidents of note was a car off the road and in the scrub at Ourimbah and a prang in the opposite lanes just out of Torquay. The Victorian roads and layouts are far superior to NSW with many freeways being built in straight lines. However a Victorian politician or fat cat must have shares in a speed camera factory as on some roads there is a camera every few kilometres and they are unmarked and positioned just around corners or just after an over pass which obscures them from view.
