Blue Mountains Gradient

And as a supplementary question - what is Blackheath caravan park like???

Alan

Stick to the GWH, as all the trucks do now.

The first corner out of Lithgow is the killer especially if it's wet. Something like a 1 in 5 grade around a sharp left hander.

when i was not towing -- or taking a small box trailer --- bells line of road -- especially on a sunday afternoon as there is a MASSIVE amount of trafic due to road works and LONG delays on GWH


GWH when towing the van -- but leave earlier to allow for BAD traffic ...

I regularly tow my KK along the Bells line of road to beat the Sunday parking lot along the GWH, but if you are only going to Blackheath, then either will do

I towed my caravan across there (GWH) in June coming from Cowra/Bathurst direction and will never ever tow across there again while ever the proverbial points to the ground LOL. The traffic, apart from the road, was something else, with never ending roadworks as a bonus :-(

Fred.

Mt Victoria Pass is a 1 in 12 grade but not as slippery as the bells line when wet.

G'day Alan,

You'll be right mate! On my one and only outing so far I towed my BT over the GWH in a Nissan! No problems and even got a compliment from a passing truck for pulling over in a slow lane to let him past. I came in via Dubbo, Orange and into Emu Plains.

Have a great trip.

Kind regards

Hi Alan
I stayed at a CP at Blackheath a few months ago. Can't remember the park name but it was in a dell just off theGovetts Leap lookout road. I have a small Troopy camper and asked for an unpowered site, they put down in a swampy gully with a few tents. Not the best of sites in wet weather but the facilities were near-by and first rate. The manager & his wife are also first rate. I was only there overnight and did not explore the rest of the park where the powered sites for caravans where but the whole place was immaculate, VERY clean and tidy and I would stay there again. The manager will not stand any hoons or noisy campers.
