Yeah she left the forum a couple of months ago but still keeps in touch with some of the guys in Sydney from the forum. Not really sure why.

A leisurely 2hr 15min drive to Wisemans Ferry and back.

Nice, where’s the ferry?

Did you come across on the ferry or just turn and go back through Windsor? Should’ve come across to Gunderman and then headed up Wisemans Ferry Rd back to Somersby then onto the Old Pacific Hwy back down to Hornsby

Totally agree, that’s a good drive.

Lots of twists and turns on Wisemans Ferry Rd on the top side of the river, only down side is limited phone reception if something goes wrong. Plenty of twists and turns on the Old Road back to Hornsby too, better than the boredom of 3 lanes of the M1 filled with idiots that tailgate and cut across lanes without warning.

No, decided against ferry and just went back via Castle Hill after a stretch in park opposite.

A few 15kph advisory turns on descent. Was tempted to turn traction off on return leg but resisted.

Actually I was so I probably missed a good opportunity.

Tried the Alpine Loop again today, this time with my wife (it is our "date day", which we do each Tuesday). Aggravatingly, the upper part is still closed. It looks like it might be a while yet. I saw a dump truck and a tractor working the road, cleaning off a lot of mud and gravel; looks like it was a hard winter and we had some erosion. That was just down near the closed gate. Who knows what's up further up? Anyway, here are some pics:
The back side of Mt Timpanogos


The closed gate (aaagain)

The junky road; looks like a single lane surfaced with an "improved" road alongside; but actually the road is that clogged with debris from runoff

Another Stinger pic, looking down the canyon

Great view

I did a quick search & couldn’t find a specific thread aimed at this, if there is my apologises & please merge.
Went up the Blue Mountains west of Sydney today for lunch with my wife, beautiful day & scenery.

Awesome view on a good day

Nice I can almost smell that fresh mountain air.

Yesterday we drove over to Park city (skiing season is well over and done) where our son and grandchildren (and his girlfriend) are vacationing this week, and we went hiking for a little bit up onto a foothill. I could have found a better lookout point (sans so much up close "shrubbery", heh), but this composite of three cellphone pics is what it is:

A view from outside their hotel room:

Well, on this thread it does say "Pictorial". And you have only barely made a start toward a thousand words. So by that ratio, your post is like the first brush stroke. I'm not seeing it yet, the "lovely" part, I mean.
