ROAD TO NEWNES
(Preview)
Hi all, Has anyone driven the road to Newnes lately? Last time we tried it we encountered really bad corrugations which gave our little van a hard time. I understand that part of the road up to the new resort has been fixed, but I am wondering about the rest. Any help greatly appreciated.
