End of October .... actually the ride if from Wollongong to Bathurst
but no way will I travel the Great Western Hwy over the mountains. So its
either via Goulburn or the Bell Liner Road then back across to the GWH and
then on to Hampton then Oberon then Bathurst

My wife drove back to Bathurst from the southern highlands today,
through Goulburn, Taralga, Oberon. There is only 5Ks of dirt, goodish
surface. This is the same as I found it riding to Gbn and back a few
months ago. My old (81) Suzuki GS1000G managed well, and it's not
generally happy on dirt.

The road through Crookwell still takes you over 30 or 40 Ks of dirt
spread over 4 sections, some of it very corrugated, especially on rising
corners.
