    Why was my first instinct to just immediately go and watch the bit where he drives past where I live? I live there! I drove that bit a few days ago! If I wanted to see it right now I could literally go and see it IRL! I think it's because I'm old enough to remember the days before the Internet, when actually seeing familiar things on a screen was exciting and rare. But that's still incredibly stupid, because if I wanted to see my town on UA-cam, I could just go and film it and upload it myself. And yet... here I am :P

    I travel from Brisbane to the NSW South Coast annually and up until a few years ago, I took the New England due to all the horror stories of roadworks etc on the Pacific. A few years ago i decided to give it a go for the first time. I instantly fell in love. Dual carriageway literally the whole way from door to door. Traffic even over the Christmas holidays was nothing. No lining up waiting your turn when an overtaking lane finally came around. Just set the cruise control and munch through those miles. Oh, and the Northern Rivers region of NSW is beautiful.

    Last time I was up in the Clarence Valley (back in 2012 lol) they had just started building the new highway and those two big bridges over the Clarence River. Looks so different now after seeing the old highway for almost 20 years.

    • @Matty12787
      @Matty12787 2 місяці тому

      What time stamp did you see that as they have now by-passed Grafton. I think the bridges you saw are the Harwood bridges. They left the old metal girder bridge and built the big concrete hump looking bridge for the new highway. The turn off to Grafton is at 5:58:51 (the old Pacific Hwy) now named Big River Way. There is a new bridge in Grafton though alongside the old one which is still used plus the old one is the railway as well so it's still a permanent feature. The new one was to help with the trucks and the congestion during school hours.
      Edit: Was the timestamp your thinking of at 6:26:27? If so, that is Harwood.

    • @Myne1001
      @Myne1001 2 місяці тому +1

      @@Matty12787 I know the new highway completely bypasses all that. I know that's Harwood Bridge (driven over it more than enough times to know that). What I mean is now you don't go through that area at all now on the highway. Just boring dual carriageway the whole way now. Efficient and brings traffic off of local roads but unfortunately not at all scenic :/

      I was somewhat surprised at that, especially given he DID join the highway at Pymble anyway. From there, he did of course join the M1 at Wahroonga.

      As someone else commented (and I noticed also) there was a break in recording at Macquarie Park when the vehicle was opposite the North Ryde Maccas. Looks like he might have stopped there for an early breakfast (open 24hrs). Probably he thought that he wouldn’t be able to stretch it out to the Wyong Twin Servos or to the servo near Heatherbrae/Raymond Terrace where he refuelled, before having a break and brekkie.

      I used to work at North Ryde, family is from Pymble etc. That route from Elizabeth Street to North Ryde was my route to work for years when I occasionally drove to work, aside the Lane Cove Tunnel of course. I was also going to go along the Comenarra Parkway but knew I had a long day.

    What is the fascination of using the middle lane on a 3 lane highway when there is such little traffic?

    • @steeltrap3800
      @steeltrap3800 2 місяці тому +4

      It's how Aussies are told to drive. It's usual to drive in the centre lane of three.
      "Keep Left Unless Overtaking", which in NSW (all the way from Sydney to the Qld border around Tweed Heads, so ~700km) applies on any road with a speed limit >80km/h, means any lane BUT the right lane.
      Left lane on three is used particularly by 'slow vehicles', and if climbing a steep hill it can be a little awkward suddenly to find a B-double rig doing 40km/h in a 110 zone.
      So, staying in the right lane is illegal, and there's no real point in using the left lane with light traffic.

      @@steeltrap3800 ​​⁠its lunacy. The national road rules need to be updated to reflect how it is in the UK. Keep to the left most lane unless ofertaking and make undertaking illegal. Its insane that an L plater can sit on 80kmh in the middle lane and have traffic flying past either side at 110kmh.

      @@user-vk4vd7vr5t Yes, well I wasn't attempting to defend it LOL, rather to explain it.
      I wasn't sure whether you knew the relevant road rules.
      A driver not travelling at the speed limit OUGHT to drive in the left lane, but I don't think it's a legal requirement unless there's a "slow vehicles use left lane" sign in effect (I'm a bit rusty on the particulars as I moved from NSW ~4 years ago).
      Regardless, discipline on highways in Aus is garbage compared with somewhere such as Germany where it really stood out to me on a trip I made through it ~2015.

      we leave about 3am, drive nonstop to Coffs for breakfast at about 9am, then try and make it to the border by 2-3pm. occasionally we make a stop at a place like Woodburn or Grafton for lunch but we tend to pack lunch often. All in all it is about 12 hours but man it's so much faster than the highway before the upgrades though I will admit, the old road was my childhood pretty much
