Here's some video by a local (Brisbane, Australia) driver, following a few friends up Mt Glorious for a coffee :) Here's a Google Maps link to the road and the intersection they meet at (the video starts somewhat west of there) https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=cnr+settlment+rd+and+waterworks+rd&aq=&sll=-27.391278,152.856388&sspn=0.14007,0.234489&vpsrc=6&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Waterworks+Rd+%26+Settlement+Rd,+The+Gap+Queensland+4061,+Australia&ll=-27.405909,152.847977&spn=0.140052,0.234489&t=m&z=13 .

Glorious has claimed 5 of my friends over the years - all on bikes of course.

In Goolwa, SA at the mouth of the Murray at the moment, tripped over a Fraser this morning but didn't have my camera with me.

Sort of a smoother, much gentler, 4 lane super highway version of Tail of the Dragon, here in the states. Which might make it an even more fun road. I've never gotten motion sickness while driving before like I have on the Dragon

I can't tell about the drop offs there, but I'm presuming they must be bad because you guys had guardrails. The last time I drove the Dragon most of the drops didn't have guardrails.

But yours is MUCH scarier because you drive in on the wrong side of the road. Every time there was a dip and the road ahead my brain screamed that a car was probably going to suddenly appear right in front of me.

That would make for a fun commute into work each day!!
