We will actually turn left here as Groves Rd takes us onto the new 70 kpm bypass that comes out and crosses Macquarie St and leads directly onto Richmond Rd. It is not shown on this map as the by pass is only a few months since being completed.

A Mobil and a BP station are on the left if you found that you forgot fuel.

Start being vigilant as we come to winding deep cuttings and wet roads can cause cars to slide out in winter. Suggest you be careful.

Start to look out for traffic turning into the botanical Gardens at Mt Tomah.

Lots of cars slow down here and turn to se the gardens at Mt Wilson, and especially in April due to autumn colours. Watch cars.
