Some have suggested I take that road when I go too .. As for its condition and suitability, I have no idea at all.
At this point in time, I'm in no hurry as I have more than a week up my sleeve .. but I've also not heard anything 'bad' about it ..

The Hervey Range Development Road was excellent a couple of years ago. There is a drop off the range you will have to use a lower gear to descend.
