That first one looks like the Barry way from Jindabyne NSW to Buchan Vic. It is like that all the way from about 20k outside Jindabyne to Suggan Buggan (very NE Vic) and is a shocker. Did it in my EL and never again, bloody bad it is.

What a load of crap. The most dangerous roads in the world are in Melbourne.

If those roads were actually dangerous they would have lots of safetycams because that is what saves lives and prevents accidents.....

Ha, I remember driveing along a road like that near Bathurst called the Bridle Track (its meant for horses) I was a passenger in a mates ZJ 351 Fairlane going flat out and he was ****ed. He was a great driver, scared the crap out of me though. HE wanted to be an ambo bu had more than 4 points on his license so he became a nurse instead,

I think Lismore ha the worst roads probably 10 years ago. Instead of repaving, they just stick tar in every little pot hole, resulting in a colourful array of tar spots everywhere. Then there was Scotts Head road...

Anyone sight the Highlands Highway in Papua New Guinea?

Or the road bends on the way to Sogerie? near Kokoda-Owens Corner, not far from the Hydro dam?
