last time i was at jamberoo was probably close to 10 years ago (yes, i was 7), and i was too young to go on all the things like go karts and motor boat things, which looked fun when i was young...

maybe there'll be things for big kids...

have fun..

went there about 5 years ago (i was 20yrs old :P).. sorry to say but i didn't find it that fun, maybe thats because only 4-5 of us went and i wasn't in top mood that day.. but there were plenty of people there and all seemed to have fun. It was also before they renovated, it looks much nicer now from the outside.

And what Dylan said is spot on about twisties, as i live at Shellharbour i always drive up/down Jamberoo Mt. Rd when heading to Robertson (i think thats the only way i know how to get there :P), Maq Pass is safer than Jamberro Mt Rd though, slightly wider road, less chance of spearing off a cliff edge or into a ravine! but it has no less twisties so enjoy! :D And i can vouch that Kiama is a beautiful place bcus i go there pretty often (10-15min drive from home).

WOo !! .. just got back !!! ..

I actually quite enjoyed myself !!! ..

My GPS was set previosuly to aviod high ways and take urban roads ..

So it kinda took me the long way ..

Ended up really close to jamberoo ... but on a road called "Swamp Road"

nice nice twisty .. and no other cars .. tight turns with long straights ..

although had a scary moment with a cow on the road !!!

Almost had rump stak for lunch !!

when summer comes around we need to have a cruise to jamberoo and spend a day there ! .. I really enjoyed myself !!! we can BBQ and all that !!!

Being a local I know the exact stretch of road you're talking about, long flat straights followed by tight 90 degree bends. It's a shame they lowered the speed limit but I think the amount of black marks on the road shows it doesn't really make a difference in the end.

Did you get a chance to go up Saddleback mountain? I've lost my brakes coming down once or twice :o

Jamberoo & Macquarie Pass also provide a pretty good run providing you don't get held up by traffic, it's a shame they paved bitumen on Jamberoo Pass 'cause it used to be a nice quiet dirt run in the days before I got my license...

swamp road is awesome fun... I reakon it would make a great rally stage starting with the long straights connected by 90 deg bends then climbing over the hills to where it joins the highway, or heads to shellharbour... One of my favourites, and most people I've come across in that road drive it that way too ;) so no danger of being heald up

I was very lucky I stumbled across swamp road ...

not very long though .. well .. it didnt seem like it .. althoug my missus was hold the "Jesu$ Bar" the whole time !!! ..

although unlucky coz im pretty sure on the way home going past the Gong Uni I think I got snapped at that camera ! ...

I saw it .. then slammed on the brakes .. looked at my speed and I was just under 95 ... looked up and *FLASH*

dammit ...

Its damn annoying coz the stretch of road up to that point is 100Kph ... then it drops to 80 .. then to 110 as you join the freeway again !!!

lets see what comes in the post !!! .. there was a car next to me .. so hopefully that adds to the confusion ..

esp with all those stories on ACA and today tonite about dodgy cameras ...

hmmm there goes my helmet and eyelid painting money !!!!

yup and the toboggin is more fun than I expected ... just need to leave a huge gap so the person infront of you gets a good head start .. otherwise you will catch them !! ..

almost stacked it twice ... on my 2nd run ...

didnt use the brakes .. and flew into the second corner ... legs n arms everywhere !! ..

managed to regather and press on at top speed !! .. it drizzled for a sec .. so the tracks we a tiny tiny bit wet ..... made it better for that little bit more speed !!!

and the view on the chair lift was awesome !!!!

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!
