The service centre is at the bottom of the Mt Ousley freeway, veer left on to Old Mt Ousley Road. The service centre is directly ahead. Cant miss it. There is an Ampol, Maccas, Chilis, Burger King etc. Lots of parking.

*Enjoy the windy road known as Jambaroo Pass.

*Turn right towards Kiama at the T intersection.

*Follow road into Kiama, turning onto the loop that will take us onto the Princess Hwy South Bound (we must stick close together as this part is tricky).

*Enjoy the twisty route, and follow signs to Kangaroo Valley. There will be a veer right at some point, and a right turn at a T intersection.

UHF CB & Mobile Phones

In some area's of this cruise there are a lot of tight roads, with many turns. It would make life easier for everyone if you were in possession of a UHF CB Radio.

That way everyone can stay in contact, the leader can relay information about cars, road hazzards and directions...

Cheap CB's which will allow you to hear updates from the leader are available from any electronics store (I.e. Dick Smith) for under $40 each.

Decent CB's which will enable you to communicate at least 2km's in either direction are available for around $160.

If you need help with getting a CB, advice on which CB to get and which one not to get, etc.. Send me a PM

WARNINGS

The roads we are going on are very tight and windy.

There are hazzards such as rocks, branches, etc.. lying on the road (why we ask you to have a CB)

You have to consider all these circumstances before you decide if this cruise is for you.

So who's in?
