The legendary Bonang Road between Orbost and Delegate River on the NSW border in Far East Gippsland is now fully sealed and one of the best bike roads in the country, though the bottom section between Martin’s Creek and Goongerah (heading north) currently needs plenty of repair work …
Yeah I saw that it was now sealed. I've ridden it a few times, the last time just after the 2020 fires in this video. ua-cam.com/video/Of3a89JlML8/v-deo.html
Great to see those roads after riding them just a few days ago. Fantastic smooth surface and great scenery. Also happy to say that the lake at Falls Creek was choccas with water too - much more picturesque than the dirty puddle I saw on the video
Yeah, it was so hot and dry down there back in 2019. The year before all the big fires of course. These are awesome roads! I wish I was closer to them!
They are very good down that way! I just returned from another trip down there and was hoping to ride this one again, but the weather and time wasn't on my side. But still had a great trip.
What incredible twisty roads.... def looked like a hot day. Interesting to know about the yellow road markings.... I keep forgetting Aus gets a lot of snow in some parts! That is a tall hill... our tallest locally to me is around 200m IIRC 😀
Yeah, we do get some good elevation in parts. The highest I got on the trip I just returned home from was over 1400m above sea level. Typically, I was riding through that area just on sunset and it was absolutely bloody freezing! LOL
HaHa! I'm not sure how we managed that! We normally drop a few here and there. It is such a great ride in that area. I'm heading that way very soon but it will be a lot colder on this visit that's for sure!
Yeah we knew that, but it was getting late in the afternoon and we had to get back to Bright and if we'd done that extra bit, we would have been pushing it. 2 days after this ride I crossed paths with you!

@@MrAusadventure haha - I'm back there in four weeks! Just a weekender this time 👌
Nothing's better than a good day on twisties. 😄🇳🇴☕
Yeah, it is hard to beat that's for sure!
The omeo highway is good on any bike!
Too bloody right! I'm hoping to do it again in a few weeks time! Did you see the last video I put up? It was the dirt route you suggested.
Lil Nerby has all of the dirt routes...
Awesome roads.

@@MrAusadventure wowzers, I've jumped out of a plane at not much higher than that... 5000ft/1500m
Wow ..

You guys are Saint's😇.
Amazing area for riding.
Hope to get back there soon....

That really was a ridiculous day of riding, this massive road ride after the epic dirt road ride! Awesome stuff mate!
It certainly was a huge day. Especially with the hangover I had in the morning! HaHa!
It is one of the best i think, but you turn off before the best part at anglers rest (in my opinion anyway). Cheers 4 sharing sir.

@@MrAusadventure Really, your memory is way better then mine that's for sure.
Nice ride 👍
It certainly was!
Awesome mate. :-)
Thanks mate! Cheers!
Yep, and the roads getting there are not bad either
Yeah, there are so many great roads around that area. I'm looking forward to getting down there again!
Like a bunch of old women
That was the goal. Thank you for your kind words.
