Paul & Suz,
I live in the lower Hunter and go up the Golden Highway often.
Take the F3 north from Wahroonga, along the F3 take the Cessnock turnoff which about 1 hour and 25m from Wahroonga, then follow the signs through to Cessnock and Branxton there are a few road turnoffs so be aware of the signs, at Branxton turn left onto the
New England Highway to the Golden Highway turn off left about 10km before
Singleton, the signs at this
intersection are large and show the Golden Highway clearly. After Jerrys Plains the signs are all good for Coonabarabran. Look for Merriwa, Coolah and Binnway.
There are even better roads after Cessnock, left after the airport through Pokolbin, head for Broke, north out of Broke about 2km left after the
bridge, at
Putty Road do a dog leg right then immediately left along Wallaby Scrub Road, then left at Warkwoth and you are on the Golden Highway heading West. Next real town is Jerrys Plains.
All of these roads are best in daylight as the scenery is great and there is seldom many cars.
