Noels,
As a Seven Hills resident who travels parts of the so called Cumberland Highway every day I would state most emphatically that you avoid it.
As others have stated. Down the Pacifice Highway - M3 From
Newcastle at the end of the M3 about 10K's on Pennant Hills Rd and turn right onto the M2 - Just watch the signage and the M2 eventually becomes the F7. After that follow the the Goulburn/
Melbourne Signs. After crossing two extremely high and long conrete bridges, believe me when I say that you will recognise despite not having seen them before watch for an off ramp
sign posted
Wollongong (Left) and Picton (right).
About 40K's later this will put you onto the Princess Highway above Mount Ousley. Just stick to the Princess Highway/Freeway and about 36K's later you will be in
Kiama.
As previously stated organise a toll account before leaving
home should you not already have one.
I live Reasonably close to the Cumberland Highway but pay my toll to use the F7 when reguarly travelling down to the South Coast. It's just not worth the aggravation of a zillion traffic lights on what is laughingly called the Prospect Highway but in reality is nothing more than a suburban service road.
