From Wingham I headed north on the Comboyne Rd which included 40 k’s of forest mountain dirt. The road wasn’t too bad for dirt but with a few pot holes and loose gravel sections, I was slowed to an average speed of around 40 kph. But it was fresh mountain air, sunny and crisp and I had the mountain to myself.
This road ended at the bottom of The Oxley Hwy, arguably Australia’s best Motorbike road. A quick stop at Long Flat and then up The Oxley to Walcha, then into Uralla on the New England Hwy to Tenterfield. Here I turned back in towards the coast on the Bruxner Hwy to Lismore with a stop at the bike friendly Lunatic Hotel at Drake. This section of the Bruxner from Tenterfield to Drake is a nice mountain road with plenty of bends and generally nice surface. When in Drake make sure you drop in to the bike friendly Lunatic Hotel.
