Fenda, re your trip to Gingers Creek. It's not a pub but a small cafe (for want of a better word) in the middle of nowhere. They do sell stubbies though. It's more of a place to have a breather on the ride and a good feed. There is limited accomodation. I don't know which way your going but its a good ride all the way from Tamworth through to Wauchope. Tamworth to Bendemeer is heavily policed. Bendemeer to Walcha less so, and has some good windies fast sweepers and long straights. Walcha eastwards till the twisties is mainly straight, fast, scenic and a 110kph zone. By rights there should be a lot of cops there, but I have rarely seen them midweek. Then the road tightens right up with 65 to 35 kph corners till Gingers Creek and then 25 to 35 kph bends till the bottom of the hill. I have never seen a cop on this section. The road then opens out to fast sweepers till Long Flat. There is a pub there. The road from there to Port Macquarie still has a lot of good corners and scenery, but the traffic thickens up and the closer you get to the coast, the more cops you see. All I can advise you is to take it easy through the tight stuff untill you have ridden it at least once. All the corners are well posted and the road surface is very good all the way (at least for country roads). There will be some damp patches in the shade on the windy bits. Also be advised that it can be bloody cold up towards Walcha. You can get fuel at Walcha, Gingers Creek, Long Flat and Walcha. Enjoy!
