Solo traveller needs advice.

You can get to Broke by either using the F3 and exiting at the Cessnock/Toronto, going through Cessnock and onto Wine Country Drive/Allandale Road and follow the signs then to Broke.

There is a short hill just past Freemans Waterhole, and there are two steep-ish hills on the approaches to Broke. Nothing too drastic, but they can slow you down.

Alternatively, you can take the Gosford exit at Kariong, take the first left off the Freeway at the lights and follow that to Laguna, Wollombi and ultimately Broke. It is longer, quite winding in parts, and not a road I would like to do at night.

I have passed through and spoken to some who have stayed there who like it. Not sure of what facilities there are, however. It is a nice roomy area though. There is a servo nearby and a shop.

Have fun.

Hi Jeni

While i can't help with your route, i have been to Broke free camp but not stayed.

Broke (Singleton Shire) – Free campground with flush toilets with barbecues and picnic area at McNamara Park spread out alongside Wollombi Brook. Three day limit.

It is a pleasant location.

Hi Jeni,

I would take the F3 to the Cessnock exit, drive through Cessnock and head to Polkobin. The road through the wineries is Broke road and follow that all the way.
The people at the shop/servo are pretty friendly and should be able to help you somewhat.

The other road through Kulnura/Bucketty/Wollombi is a nice drive but has more hills, is a bit tighter and tends to be a favourite for motorbikes.

Travel safe,

Steve
