Day 5 Port Putty Rd Grey Gum Cafe to Sydney
KM 220
BEAR RIDES 32, 31

After camping over night at the Grey Gum Cafe and an excellent breakfast at the cafe there was another 60km's of Putty Rd remaining heading south towards Sydney. I was staying with friends in Sydney that night so had a few hours to spare.

I decided to take a look at Wisemans Ferry which is another popular spot for Sydney motorcyclists. If you are heading south on the Putty take the turn off left to Sackville. This runs through some nice country side and then onto the first of two barges that take you across the Hawkesbury River. The ferry services are free so you just roll on and roll off.

The road then runs directly to Wisemans Ferry where the second barge is which connects to roads heading west. Just before the township its worth stopping at the lookout overlooking the Hawkesbury River. The road down from there into Wisemans Ferry is short and steep so watch out, there are a couple of sharp hairpin corners waiting for the unwary.

There is a decent pub in the township and a good coffee shop further down on the same side. It was a nice ride and I had a relaxing afternoon before preparing myself for the ride into Sydney.

The ride into Sydney was a nightmare. I don't know Sydney very well and trying to get through Friday afternoon rush hour traffic was character building to say the least. I came back from Wisemans Ferry through Glenorie and then Hornsby and finally arrived at Bevan and Jan's in Wahroonga. A few wines and the woes of the traffic were well and truly forgotten. Thanks Bevan !
