Getting Road Information

Good Morning,

Say I wanted to find out what a certain road was like in terms of rises and descents – is this information available on the web somewhere?

As an example, I was just looking at going from Mansfield to Whitfield in Victoria. I see that the road has a few switchbacks, I suspect that it is either on the GDR (Great Dividing Range) or an offshoot and I got a couple of hits from the two wheel fraternity (if they like a road then a BT50 and 2.2 tonne of van may not!).

So instead of asking the forum “What is the road from Boondocks to Boganville like?”, every time I see a hill on Google Earth, is there somewhere I can find out for myself? I would rather do this myself and leave the forum questions for the hard stuff.

I do not have access to topo maps, either electronic or treeware, just Mr Dell and Google, and a TomTom Via260.

Thanks,
“A”.
