Old Pacific Highway

Heading up from Canberra to near Gosford next week, avoiding motorways
and freeways if I can. Can I get from Berowra to Gosford on the old
Pacific Highway, or has it been closed?

Canberra --> Bungendore --> Goulburn --> Oberon --> Katoomba --> Bell
--> Bell's Line of Road --> somewhere --> somewhere --> Berowra --> Gosford

 

If you want quick and easy and not much spam [freeway] at the end of Bells
Line take Richmond Rd from Richmond to the corner of the M7, turn left off
the m7 on Pennant Hills Rd to Hornsby. Stay left to avoid the F3 freeway
through Hornsby and then up the old road.

The much longer but more interesting run is Richmond to Windsor, then
Wilberforce Rd and Sackville and Old Northern Rds to the ferry on the right
hand side of Wiseman's, then a while beside the river on Wiseman's Ferry Rd
to Spencer and then to Central Mangrove, Mangrove Mountain Rd to Somersby
and on to Gosford.

The second will be a fairly full days work from Canberra - google maps
display the way ok - HTH

Yes, you can.

Up, where the road gave way, you do a wee bit of a diversion in the
industrial estate, but it's easy enough to see where you are.

Thanks, Andrew. I wanted to avoid freeways and tollways altogether, so
I'm going to try a slightly shorter version of your second option (Bell
to Berowra Waters in Google shows the way).
