Pacific Highway at Night

Taken during a trip to Brisbane in the QEIII. The infamous Pacific Highway between Sydney and Brisbane is slowly being upgraded not before time but in the meantime the narrow single-lane road claims many lives. This clip, taken at night just south of Grafton, shows just how close those big B-Double trucks are and how narrow the road is. Rolling Down Cahuenga by Tangerine Dream seems appropriate.

I can't believe the shit I read posted on here, this bit isn't bad at all, what a bunch of DECA trained pansies. This used to be the good section once upon a fuckin' time ladies.

@piratebrentos hear ya there man. first run down this bit of road was night in the flogging down rain in a double trying to keep up with another regular. the bit around macksville/clybucca/kempsey is pretty shithouse too.

@piratebrentos Tried Summerland Way? Shouldn't have, should be a continuous slow lane on the 4 lane dual carriageway we should have.

Why is the planned Grafton Bypass 7km longer than it has to be? Greenie rubbish changed it.

Try getting your night hours up when learning to drive on these roads. 80km/h with a line of trucks behind, gets pretty hectic.

I always travel through the night on the pacific highway, its my favourite roadtrip from sydney to the gold coast, the big rock, legends cafe, big banana, big prawn and a few beach stops add to the fun, wouldnt be much fun stuck on a plane the worst part of my trip from sydney to qld is pennant hills road before leaving sydney, from then on its all good. the trucks are no problem in the night unless you get a tailgater. my vehicle is a 51 year old station wagon supercharged offcourse.
