Mick.
Don't know if its much help but you could leave the Hume at Gundagai and come around the back way to Wagga.
This then joins up to the Olympic Way taking you through to Albury. Distance is almost the same,
Avoids speed camera at Tarcutta and the hume through Holbrook.
Where the pigs are but is any bodys guess. Keep your eyes open.
Stop off in Wagga and Ill shout you a coffee , it's 120 ks still to Albury.

Just a suggestion Mick.
Take the coast road to Albion Pk,then up thru Macquarie Pass.Take the back roads thru to Goulburn.Pick up the Hume(not much choice here)thru to Gundagai.Turn off to Tumut,onto Tumbarumba & Jingellic.Cross the Murray,turn right & follow the river all the way into Albury.
This last section(about 110kms)is absolutely fantastic!! No towns,no traffic,no plod.Just you,the Busa & the twisties. But plan your fuel stops carefully.(There`s none after Jingellic)
I did this run in reverse about 3mths ago.It`s about 700kms from Syd but sure beats the shit out of the monotony of the Hume.
Enjoy,mate.
Thanks for the reply guys. Weather permitting Ill be going coast road through macqurie pass, back to hume, across from Gundagai to Wagga and finally to Albury. If its pissin down ill be sluggin down the Hume id say. Day two will be a blast to Tumut before heading north once more. Im gonna have a new CBR600 for company, so its gonna be fun.
Should hit Wagga mid afternoon Im hoping. (whats the best coffee stop Imagunna???)
Anyone welcome to tag along.
Mick.
Offer sounds good Mick,but sadly,weekdays are spent in the salt mines so I can have the funds to do `OUR THING`on weekends.
Have a safe one,mate.
HI MICK,
Forecast for this area is fine for next three days (they are not always right though).
If you are going to come to wagga across the back way you have got to actually do a loop under the bridge at Gundagai to pick up the road, then make sure you do a sharp left just after a little town called Nangus or you will end up in Junee. If you continue on hume there is a turn off to here about thirty ks on.
Welcome to stop off for a coffee at my place ,its not out of the way and ill show you another back road to take you halfway to Albury.
You can only get premium fuel at wagga. If you are in a hurry there is a coffee shop on the left at forsyth st. corner, fourth set of lights. tables on street, generally a fireblade out front.
Give me a ring on 0269211347.
got ya number imagunna! Youll here from me tomorrow
Hi guys. did the above mentioned run and did stop at Wagga.(get off the damn phone imagunna ). We had perfect weather except for an unrelenting fog Wednesday morning.Ended up 1600kms for the two days and only pulled up by plod once. Servere case of baboon arse aside it was a good trip. Catch ya later.
Mick,
ABSOLUTELY devestated that this didn't work out as planned. Thought at last i'm going to meet busa clubmen.
Anyhow glad you are back home - wife is a nurse and worries like buggery when someone on road doesn.t arrive as planned.
All questions- did you come around back road to wagga, was this okay, hope to give you a bum steer. What time did you hit wagga, hope plod wasn't in my area.
Wasn't working so must have been on comp when you rang.
Forecast fine but not fog, still it is mid winter. Did you go back through tumut?
Finally had a coldie in fridge and had to drink them all myself, bugger. 1600 ks in two days would nearly get you into A.M.C. News catergory.
Regards IMAGUNNA

I went the back way you suggested to Wagga via Gundagai and hit Wagga at about 4.30pm. It was gettin dark real quick so after a half hour stop i continued on to Albury. Was dark by the time i hit The Rock(something like that). For the return trip we decided not to go out through Tumut as it was to damn foggy. We shot up the Hume and back across to Cowra to continue North. Mate, between Cowra and Bathurst must be the roadworks capital of Australia, bike looks like its been flat trackin . Anyway, catch ya next time and well go attack the Snowy Mtns in some fine weather!
Mick.
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a less policed,twistier route between Sydney and Albury/Woodonga than the Hume? Im doing a run down and back on the 17/18th June.
Thanks.
Mick
