last time I drove it it was a good SEALED road all the way. No problem.

Gday CL, good to see you and the family in
The Pyrenees too. I reckon on that trip you may see a few Landmarks ;-))

If you are going from tumut to
cooma the lack of brakes on your camper will not be a problem, in reverse their is a steep long windy downhill section as you leave the mountains. Mind you my boat trailer has no brakes and it is usually full of
camping gear so about the same weight as your camper and I decend in 2nd with the air on and just have to touch the brakes. The decent goes for about 6 ks and drops about a thousand metres.
O and it is a beautiful drive, relax and enjoy it, part of it passes through the alpine region near
Kiandra, the snow has already melted.
Cheers Pete

I love the pacific highway, its the best thing out of
Sydney,don't confuse the free way and all the new roads with the pacific hwy, you haven't got enough time to go on the real pacific highway, oh and the snowy highway is very nice too!!
