  • Join me on a drive from Gosford in the Central Coast of NSW, a satellite region to the north of Sydney, to the Sydney CBD! We'll be taking the M1 Pacific Motorway then the A1 Pacific Highway, passing through the Hawkesbury River, Berowra, Gordon and Chatswood, before finally crossing Sydney Harbour on the iconic Harbour Bridge.

    Very good drive this one, I've been up to Newcastle only once or a couple times when I was about 7 or 8 in 2008/2009. Nice to see the road is widened to 3 lanes, and the Harbour Bridge lanes have been narrowed 😆 I currently live overseas in Europe and I'm hoping to come back down to Straya for a holiday next year 🙏🇦🇺

    Amazing vid, I really love driving on the Pacific Hwy(Gosford-Doyalson) whenever I visit the central coast as opposed to the A49, cuz personally I think its a better, surprisingly more scenic alternative route through the central coast than the A49. There's a pretty scenic section of the pacific Hwy between Ourimbah and Tuggerah where it winds through the surrounding lush green forest environment, really love that part. Although, last time I drove the highway, there was a long contraflow set up due to a car crash on the southbound lane between Ourimbah and North Gosford which was completely jammed that required traffic to squeeze in to drive on the other lane for the next few kms which was not easy to drive through considering how much traffic was on the road that day.
    But anyway, really enjoyed the vid and I recommend you showcase the drive on that route next time youre in the central coast instead of the A49 😉

    All through the video I only saw one Bus..no wonder we have congestion. And we still cannot decide what to call our highways..freeways?, Motorways? Highways? Personally, I prefer to call them AusWays to reflect their unique Ausie style.

    Nice drive. We knew the road up the hill from West Gosford as “bellbird hill” (one of many). Wonder if the bellbirds have gone or just been drowned out by the traffic?

    7:49 - it's a shame that there are few road projects like these that are built nowadays. In fact, the Toowoomba Bypass in QLD is probably the only comparable road project that was built in recent times (let's hope the Upper Blue Mtns tunnel also gets built). Great video otherwise!

      Thanks mate! There's also the recent significant upgrades of Pacific Highway to Motorway up the NSW North Coast but the topography is way less challenging. You're right in terms of geography like this probably only the Toowoomba Bypass in recent times

      Thanks, we don't really have elevated expressways in Australia due to how sprawling the cities are so that was fun to watch. Only ones I can think of right now here are the Cahill Expressway in Sydney and Riverside Expressway in Brissy, both of which are super short.
