CommentsDavid Smith: Good old Rover turns any road into a highway!

Anne Milligan I remember this part, scary in those days

Robin Spillane we used to take the caravan on this road.

John Huntohn Hunt Yes remember it well. Most of those switchbacks also had huge pot holes.

June Williams I remember it well especially bouncing almost sideways through the corrugations.

Ralda Bryant Me too. Scary

Christine Stewart Loved the old road with zigzag. Best part I thought

Pauline Matene Was exciting driving up and down there

Wayne Leckie Best road ever. All new drivers should have to learn on this road.

Rose Henham They take fun out of everything !good road now !

Michael Nottingham Sure tested your car, shacking, juddering and sliding this way and that not to mention the dust and dirt. Corrugations were a nightmare when cornering. How wonderful to drive over the gorge from then to now...

PaulAnthony Teens Now ya couldn’t walk up there

Ross Hurley Check it out Cate Hurley

Murray Bone on one corner of the pass buses had to do a two point turn to go around the corner.

Kyle Webster I did that last night in a bus on Ramahana Rd. This one look like another quality road.

Ann Beech Remember it like this...and the potholes. Nearly got lost in one!!
