Mountain Creek road is mainly for local access & is definately not a short cut to Canberra or South Coast even if coming from Wee
Jasper. Go to Yass & stick to the blacktop...oldbaz.

Mountain Creek is a black top drive from Canberra to the Wee Jasper/Yass Rd. Gravel from the junction to Wee Jasper. If you are coming up from Nowra, it is a good drive through Nerriga to Queanbeyan then out to Uriarra Xing and then onto Mountain Ck. There is an alternative track through 2 sticks and Doctors flat. If you have Oziexplorer I can probably find a track plot file for the trip from Queanbeyan to Wee Jasper. Like someone else said, it is not quicker but it sure is a prettier drive.

The NRMA travel planer suggests the quickest trip from Wee Jasper to Nowra is to go through Yass, down the Hume to the Illawarra Hwy and through Kangaroo Valley - distance 259km, time 3:29.

They give the shortest distance as your proposed route - Mtn Ck Rd and through Nerriga - distance 256km, time 5:58.

This suggests you can travel the same distance, save 2 hours and not get lost in Canberra.
