Exploring some local roads around Tweed, Part 1

 

Recently I have been exploring local roads in the Tweed area on my bike to see if they are sealed. I cant cross the border due to the lockdowns between states, but now would be a great time to check these roads out that I have not been along for quite some time. The reason I am sticking with sealed roads is that my bike is belt driven, so would get stones easily

The back roads tend to be missed as you take the main roads like the Coast road between Kingscliff and Pottsville, or the Motorway.

 

Hogans Road,

Between Bilambil and North Tumbulgum. Sealed road that winds through the bush and farmlands. Can be narrow in parts. There is a causeway that could flood in wet weather.

 

Carool Road, Blissetts Road

 

Sealed roads that takes you up into Carool from Bilambil. Some potholes in the road towards Bilambil. Blissetts is a no through road and ends before a property. Has good views of the Gold Coast from the hills and nearby coffee plantation. I didn’t go up Glengarrie Road.

 

Clothiers Creek Road

Sealed between Condong and Cabarita. Has some bendy roads between Tweed Valley Way and the Motorway on / off ramps.

 

Watty Bischop Road

 

Sealed. A great road that links you to Clothiers Creek Road and Round Mountain Road just off the On off ramp for the highway. A local road that runs opposite the highway. Nice little short cut to avoid the towns.

 

Round Mountain Road

 

Mostly sealed, but havnt gotten further than the highway overpass bridge. Further down the road it is meant to be unsealed. From the bridge to the Hastings Point exit sealed. I will have to check this out. Signs about being aware of cane trucks depending on the time of year. Some narrow windy parts and opens up closer to the coast road.

 

Kanes Road, Reserve Creek Road

Between Round Mountain Road and Cudgera Creek Road. Cudgera Creek Road leads to Pottsville. Reserve Creek Road unsealed from the turn off to Kanes Road. Kanes is narrow in parts and windy.

 

Tomewin Road

 

Sealed between Murwillumbah and the border. It is sealed into Currumbin, but no access when the border has been closed.

 

McAuleys Road

Just off Dulgulgen Road near the Tumbulgum bridge. Sealed for at least one kilometre before becoming unsealed just beyond Rayes Lane. Short ride along the river that would take you to Terranora.

 

Cudgen Road

 

Sealed. Road is between Tweed Valley Way and the Cudgen lights on the Tweed Coast Road. Some windy bitsTakes you to Tropical Fruit World. Havnt explored Duranbah Road yet.
