Depends which way you go out there, there is some rough sections but nothing major.

The main roads aren't the best for a cruise, cops, speed cameras, traffic, scenery etc etc.

Cheers

So what you are asking is if you have an automatic licence even if it is upgraded to manual automatically can it be upgraded manually by sitting for a manual test and if passed the automatic licence is automatically upgraded but if failed is the automaic licence automatically failed as well and do you have to read the road safety manual to sit for the manual upgrade or does the automatic licence test of the road safety manual automatically cover the manual test as well?

The tarana section is a great drive and the bulk of the road is in pretty good nick. Spoke to a mate who went through there a few weeks ago, all good and all clear.

There is a section there where there is some pot holes but nothing major at all. And no worse than you would find anywhere else in NSW.

I am happy to call it in over two way so people know and can slow down for it. One through this 200 odd metres it's very good driving.

Advantages are it's so quiet traffic wise you can drive around them without any issues.

Last time we went through there no one had any issues or problems and no came close to any problems.
Again - you have to take the corect roads...

Cheers

Off the NSW government website.

# Starts : Daylight saving commenced on Sunday 28 October 2007.
# Ends : Daylight saving ends on Sunday 6 April 2008 at 3am summer time when clocks are put back one hour.


And before you start by saying that we can't trust the NSW government:

Maybe this time they might be right.
