Dubbo has it's own set of problems, and that would objections from National Parks

The line was paid for by the NSW Government. White Industries (Ulan Mine) intially paid a surcharge per ton of coal conveyed - I doubt whether this is still the case. The "new"

But a forum member suggested the following istead: Oberon - Bathurst - Sofala - Ilford - Rylstone - Mudgee - Gulgong etc. Is that route as scenic at the one I suggested? Scenic as in mountains = No. Actually, it is less scenic then route through Katoomba

Goulburn through Taralga to Oberon has some sections of unsealed road and some pretty steep hills. From Oberon I would not go to Lithgow and then the way you propose, which has narrow roads and lots of traffic. I would go to Bathurst and then up through Sofala, Ilford, Rhylstone, Mudgee, Gulgong etc which is much quieter. "BikeManiac" <lucasjensen@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1174242743
