ACT cruise to Snowy Mountains

[Kevlar GT]

Met up with Sunday Driver and Bugli from this forum, my mate Michael (Mazda3 MPS) and Steve (STi Rexie) this morning and went out for a rather long but very awesome cruise from Canberra to Cooma, Cooma to Jindabyne, Jindabyne to Khancoban and then from Khancoban out via Tooma and Tumut dams back to Cooma then home. A round trip of about 530kms.

The road from Canberra to Cooma is boring and usually plagued with police so we stuck to the limit for the most part. From Cooma to Jindabyne gives a teaser of the winding roads you are driving to and basically as you head up to Thredbo the real fun begins. Insane amounts of twisting winding roads, hairpins and some very narrow places you'd swear were built for two horses to pass rather than two cars. This doesn't stop until you make it to Khancoban - and then a short drive on from there it all begins again until you pretty much reach Lake Eucumbene.

Here are some pics from the day and I am sure Bugli will add some more.
