Wollongong to Parkes

Gday Hardo, Try going up the Hume Hwy to Yass then across to Cowra then Parkes via Eugowra.
Cheers Mate. Grant.

If you get some good maps of the area you should be able to plot a route through from Mittagong, Wombeyan Caves and through State Forests and National Parks to get you well towards Bathurst with very little travel on bitumen.

I just had a quick look on Natmap Raster 250k series and you have got me thinking. Might take a bit of planning and you would probably have to follow the map closely but it could be a lot of fun. Some really pretty country through that way.

Duncs

And no playing cricket on the telescope at Parkes !!!

if u want to just poke along, goulburn, crookwell, tuena, lyndhurst, blaney ,shadworth,orange ,parkes .
there is about sixty kilometres of dirt, but it is good going, lot of history in the little towns but if you're in a hurry, i would personally miss out on going the great western highway, and go the yass,cowra way instead.
