Sydney's Best Driving Roads - Macquarie Pass (downhill)

Macquarie Pass is a 8 kilometre long section of the Illawarra Highway passing through Macquarie Pass National Park. It links the Southern Highland town of Robertson to the coastal town of Albion Park, descending the Illawarra Escarpment via a very narrow bitumen roadway, which has several single lane sections, and for the most part is two lanes with double "no overtaking" lines.This section of roadway is very steep, and contains a large number of hairpin bends. Unfortunately this video contains only about half the length of the pass as I ran into a whole heap of traffic. But the sections where I get some clear air were well worth it - awesome collection of twisties and I haven't seen a smoother road surface outside of a racetrack :)
