Goulburn to Oberon

I came over that road early last year. The surface is very good. However, there is a very steep climb out of the Abercrombie River. After having done the Bloomfield Track, N Qld., recently I rate it as steep.

I was towing a Kimberley Karavan and almost struggled up to the top. Apparently, stop transports avoid it even empty!

I think there is another road to the west that is not so steep but I haven't been on it for years.

Have fun

If you travel to Oberon via Taralga(nice little village, good coffee on right as you are leaving town going north) its bitumen all the way but you still have a steep descent to the river and a much steeper climb out the other side. I think the Abercrombie road via Crookwell still has some dirt.

We have travelled to and from Oberon, via Taralga, three times this year and its OK for our V6 and 17' poptop but grunt is good climbing up from the river.

As said, a little steep in one spot, but not a problem at all..a fairly easy road and nice scenery as well..

From Oberon to GWH is fine, but a bit up and down hills, no real worries though.

Your van and Hyundai seem an appropriate match and if you are OK with the Brown mtn, or the Clyde, the road to Oberon via Taralga should be OK, the climb up from the river is nowhere near as long as either of those two mtns, just dont try to do it in top gear LOL.

The road is fine. There are a few logging trucks between Oberon and the Mt Werong turnoff (south of Black Springs). The road is used by heavy vehicles and you should have no problem with a caravan. Keep an ear out for trucks on UHF Channel 40 on the way down the steep section (well signposted).

We were at the Jenowen Caves today. Its a must see but not for caravans.

I live at Faulconbridge in the Blue Mountains. I've driven and ridden this road many times. The road out of the abercrombie river is steep but it is sealed and there is a steep section half way up but nothing that a low range gearbox can't handle.Be brave and give it a go. You'll feel good when you get to the top. I rode my BMW motorbike up it years ago in the bleep in' rain before it was sealed.
