Nowra To Dalgety
Part one of a three day High Country Snowy Ride.
Nowra to Dalgety NSW
Taking the back roads to snowy country
There a a few routes from Sydney to Jindabyne that we have explored over the years. This was our first attempt travelling from Nowra to Dalgety via Braidwood as a part of a three day high country adventure.
The road from Nowra to Braidwood vis Nerriga was mostly dirt travelling through the Morton National Park. It has since been sealed but still as scenic none the less. Stop at Braidwood for fuel and food at the Braidwood bakery. Tuross Road route to Nimmitebell is the real highlight on this days ride and we finished at the Dalgetty Hotel for our first over night stay.
The Dalgety Hotel (formerly Buckleys Crossing Hotel) has improved dramatically since 2007 but back then it was a real shithole.

Getting There
When heading south from Sydney this is one of the quickest ways to get on the dirt. This route will take you to the NSW Snowy and on to the Victorian High Country and return. Combined with parts of the High Country loop it is a very popular route with Adventure bike riders travelling to and from the MotoGP at Phillip Island.
Accommodation
This ride is easily done in a day, however depending on where you are starting from following are links for different areas for stopovers. Our option was Dalgty Pub but from Nimmitabel you can cross the Monaro Plains over to Berridale for fuel then on to Jindabyne ready to attack the Barry Way the next day.
Supplies
This is an easy ride for the novice with fuel available in most towns. However there is no fuel at Dalgety.
