Nice streets around Perth

[jaybee]

Some people may think that this gay thread is gay, but personally i love nice roads to drive on. While they might not be quite as nice as what you'd see through Europe, what streets do you drive down that you really enjoy? Whether they are from twisty roads to nice big flat open highways or small streets filled with trees.

When i take the Alexander drive route home from uni, i always like the small stretch from Hepburn heading towards Marangaroo drive, nice flat road fill with nice big trees, covering almost the whole section in shade.

Another is a wide residential street in Cottesloe, all old style houses with huge front lawns and massive big trees practically blocking any light into the street, almost like a tree tunnel. I always make it point to drive down that street when i'm near by.

Potter Pl Bateman,

Makes me feel rich, so much cash there

Woodrow Avenue Yokine,

Can smell the cheap coffee in the air, and the roads are clean, like they are never driven on.

[Torquen]

Obvious one but the road heading into Kings Park.

[AGIT8D]

I've always enjoyed Clipper in Halls Head onto Halls Head Parade along the coast, though it doesn't last long.. Delpark -> Pinjarra Williams -> Nanga -> Nanga Brook is good too ;)

[KAL SPL]

Gt Eastern hwy heading is east is awsome , gets me the fock out of Perth and on my way home !

[Alt_F4]

Pearl Parade in Scarbs

[Buckets]

Mounts Bay Rd

The road that goes from Trigg to Hillaries

I still love the tunnel as well (for obvious reasons)

[Cpt Beaver]

West Coast Drive, Trigg to Hillarys
Beach, Babes one side, Big Houses on the other.

[Skitzo]

Potter Pl Bateman,

Residents are A grade wankers, as you would expect for places that are cashed up.

Broadhurst Crescent in Bateman.

[Justooon]

Gt Eastern hwy heading is east is awsome , gets me the fock out of Perth and on my way home !

That drive is a beaut as soon as you get clear of the Lakes if you ask me.. Or maybe I just like it like a kid watching the same wiggles DVD would.. seen it so many times..

[Torquen]

Any roads around the Pemberton area are awesome :)

[RELEASE]

Woodrow Avenue Yokine,

Can smell the cheap coffee in the air, and the roads are clean, like they are never driven on.FUCKEN ROR!!!

[duste]

Mounts Bay Rd

x2, BUT only when there's no traffic to worry about, and maybe with a little bit more speed.

[Mad_Aussie]

Fern Rd in Wilson... Bungaree Rd through to Shelly Bridge, can be an entertaining drive so long as you don't kiss a kerb.

[ReaperSS]

Driving past guildford grammer under the trees is pretty cool around now (Autum).

Love mundairing wier rd aswell at night

[2JZA70]

mundairing wier rd at night is awsome also zig zags at night.....

[Wrench]

mundairing wier rd at night is awsome also zig zags at night.....

beat me to it..

[Buckets]

Any roads around the Pemberton area are awesome :)

If we're going south then Cave Rd is my personal favorite

[dmwill]

+1 for Mounts Bay Rd and West Coast Drive.

Remove traffic islands, people, other cars, speed limit, would be a fun road.

On the outskirts:
-O'Brien Road off Toodyay Rd - early winter morning...fog in the valleys (downside is shit loads of roos)
-Chittering Rd, from Bullsbrook, same as O'Brien Rd really.

Trying to think of a few random back roads I took on a cruise to York once...Will have to dig up the map.

[maximus]

Following the river back through Applecross on my way home is a pretty nice drive.

Plus planting it up Majestic hill never gets old...

Too many rich fools here also.

Avoid Melville Beach Road on this route though, they've ruined it with a million speed bumps

[sami_]

McNess.. casually

[newbie101]

Any roads around the Pemberton area are awesome :)

well, if we are going to ignore the "around perth" part of the question, then I nominate the balingup-nannup rd. Just remeber to keep an eye out for the mushroom hunting stoners that appear on the side of the road at certain times of the year.

[mitchwnz]

The Tunnel Mmmmm DAKDAK

[Mad_Aussie]

If we're going south then Cave Rd is my personal favorite

Plenty of roads that come off Caves are far better...

[Yakky Bear]

west end of kintail rd

[jaybee]

Even St Georges Terrace when there is no traffic (basically never though) is nice.

West Coast Highway towards the City Beach end with big double lane roads and huge islands filled with trees is nice, especially around this time of year.

[wormbo2]

Sounds ghetto, but Medina ave, in kwinana.
Old trees on both sides, that are atleast 40 years old, overhanging the whole road. Pretty smooth road, nice dips and turns, never any traffic. It's nice

[Mistikal]

Old Mandurah Rd, from Rockingham Rd to Safety Bay Rd - majority of the stretch is nice.

[Mad_Aussie]

Also, Beela Rd out of Brunswick Junction. Tight, twisty road that is mostly sealed (some of it has gravel though...). Beautiful scenery, and leads to some good camping spots out in the forrestry area.

[Fukushima]

The entire stretch from Orrong Road down Roberts Rd / Kent St / Past Curtin to Manning Road

[Lozzle]

I like the stretch of road heading towards Yanchep turn off and for a few 100m there's really tall white gums either side of the road as it dips and turns.

[JBAE]

jandakot road in well jandakot! :) good road to play on with no traffic! have hit it once and past a fuck load of cops doing 150ish in the evo... i shat and proceeded to make hast for the freeway

[mazgem]

stirling crescent near bgc, hazelmere. oooh yea. bumpy as

[Gleeso]

I've always enjoyed Clipper in Halls Head onto Halls Head Parade along the coast, though it doesn't last long.. Delpark -> Pinjarra Williams -> Nanga -> Nanga Brook is good too ;)

Ive driven to Nanga, but not sure the roads I took but I do recall some nice ones (was a couple years ago though)

[Lonewolf]

terrace road in guildford, nice road with trees etcs.
Agreed that st georges terrace at night is awesome

[hugwase]

Fern Rd in Wilson... Bungaree Rd through to Shelly Bridge, can be an entertaining drive so long as you don't kiss a kerb.

+1 Fern Rd, then onto Riverton Dve Est and Riley Rd. Always go that way from Leach if I can help it :)

[tinto]

Julimar/obrien/Mcness

I love being amongst the trees on roads that feel quick at the speed limit.

X2 on most of the roads around Pemberton

About a decade ago I used to have west coast why to myself at 3am when driving home ( from subiaco to kallaroo) from nightshift.

I had a BRG 1969 Mini, no sound proofing, window down.
It was my very own monte carlo special stage ;)

[Phyber]

O'Brien has some great curves, hairpins and lookouts. Also off of that on the south east corner is Reen, thing's got chicanes! Hit that up last weekend with some from the xr6t forum, good fun.

Agree watch out for Roos and gravel though. Perils of living in the hills!

[adrenalin]

Canning mills rd
Canning dan rd

Onramp northbound from leach hwy. Nice downward corner.

[Georgina]

Top of Marmion Ave, between Butler and Yanchep.. they've started building up there now, but it's still a nice stretch of road !

[Torquen]

THIS! Totally forgot about that little stretch. Very nice and smooth... The road that is ;)

[wormbo2]

Agree! Drive to yanchep from jindalee hj's onwards us a nice open stretch for a few K's.

[Crispymk2]

Along the river through Applecross is nice at the right time of day and the through Bicton and to Freo along the river too.

I used to thrash my 1970 mkII cortina with stupidly loud exhaust through there at night

Just need to jag a time with minimal traffic or can be painful. No good for slammed cars either.

[Fukushima]

Turning onto mitchell freeway south from reid highway

Awesome downward sloping left

Spent 4 years visiting my missus when she lived at home, have tacled that corner in many different cars :)

[dmwill]

Top of Marmion Ave, between Butler and Yanchep.. they've started building up there now, but it's still a nice stretch of road !

Twisty bits on approach to the roundabouts are annoying though.

Done a few late nights runs on there when I have nothing better to do :)

Spencers Brook - York Road between Clackline/Gt Eastern Hwy and York is also a fun long stretch of narrow country road - once again, early winter morning is the best time to do it.

[Buckets]

Agree! Drive to yanchep from jindalee hj's onwards us a nice open stretch for a few K's.

I was living in Butler when they had just finished this prior to it opening... Some people had some seriously fast fun on it apparently. I know nothing about such behavior myself.

[crabman]

Railway Parade in Upper swan. Around 9km's of straight stretch with two 5km'ish stretches aswell seperated by slight bends. Nice wot road late at night/real early in the morning.

[S133LTR]

The new coastal hwy stretch near Leeman is pretty good.. 110kmh, big winding bends with the ocean less than 100m on one side and huge sand dunes on the other.

Also as Cptn Beaver said coast road Hillarys to Trigg.. one powerball...

[SircatmaN]

The road that goes from the city, under the bridge and down past UWA. Beautiful shot of the river, lovely trees, past the brewery and stop in at mothers foods for a lasagne and then down to Captain Stirling for a pint.

[S_E]

Twisty bits on approach to the roundabouts are annoying though.



I like the twisty bits, as long as there isn't some slow pingpingpingping in front that does 50 through them.



Turning onto mitchell freeway south from reid highway

Awesome downward sloping left

This is also good.


Roundabouts on Connolly Drive between Shenton and Burns Beach are good fun if there is no-one around, drops off to the left then back up at the exit.

[dmwill]

Twisty bits are to wake you up on approach when you're held up by the said slow pingpingpingping.

"Quickie"
Run never run.

[JNR man]

Kwinana freeway straight outta town

[Joe]

North Street Mt Lawley.. or any of the Avenues that run off that street.

[ForgedV6]

Pearl Parade in Scarbs

No way, some dumps on there also.

North Road Bassendean is my favourite. Do yourself a favour and check it out! You will understand.

[Mad_Aussie]

Surprised no one's mentioned the Roe Hwy onramp off the Freeway going North... Awesome banked wide corner that's smooth as.... Awesome piece of road.

[duste]

Both on Roe from the Fwy and off Roe to the Fwy imo!

[VEE KA]

Fern Rd in Wilson... Bungaree Rd through to Shelly Bridge, can be an entertaining drive so long as you don't kiss a kerb.

i take that route home everyday but always to many cars to really enjoy the road, is fun when no one around though!

[Jiblet]

Awesome driving road with little to no traffic during week: Croyden Rd (near Araluen Botanic Gardens)
McNess (some of it anyway)
Roads that go to Perth Observatory

Plenty of good roads out in the hills near Roleystone.

3am on a weeknight, S1 Rx-7, much the same conditions! brings back memories on that road!

[ForgedV6]

Cape Naturaliste Rd, Dunsborough

[cactus]

Surprised no hill areas have been mentioned (unless I passed over these)...

Kala zig-zag is always good fun

Lawnbrook Rd East heading out to Bickley/Pickering Brook

Mundaring Weir road is awesome - still remember a cruise years back, and as your going through all the twists and turns, you can see the headlights of all the other guys on the cruise who are on the opposite side of the hill (yet to take that big 180 turn at the bottom over the bridge which leads you back up the hill) ... awesome sight

Canning Rd (heading out to Pickering BrooK) is always a nice trip too, beautiful forrest!

[DenZel]

leach highway, maccas

[V70R]

I will go out on a limb here and say West Coast Drive - Between Trigg and Hillarys.
Pure awesomeness just before sunrise. Twisties, ocean views, no traffic FTW

All good roads, one of the reasons I sold me VLT to buy a WRX.

Orange Valley Rd in Kalamunda. Is only short, but a great bit of road.

[NoOg_sTaR]

Both on Roe from the Fwy and off Roe to the Fwy imo!
This is part of my daily commute. I always grin when I get no traffic behind me nor in front.

Challenge accepted.

+1 only rangers in there before it opened and they all turned a blind eye haha

haha my whole post was hills rds. Many were meantioned earlier too.

+1 to Canning Rd. If it is the one i'm thinking of the road is soooo smooth for a while (then gets really bumpy).

[Butcher]

Quit posting up the roads in the hills. The reason they are so good is because they are great roads that not many people use/know about.
Advertising it and increasing the numpty traffic out there only pisses off the farmers<council<police bringing extra unwanted attention (roads get permanently blocked,police presence or maybe it will be yet another farmer gets pissed that his evening is disturbed by v6 mang and decides to lob a few bricks).

IMO, If your too lazy to explore and discover them yourself you dont deserve to experience them.

You need to tuck your vagina flaps up, they are hanging out and exposing you as a bitch.

LOL ... you're kidding right?

Antilag.com thread cause major traffic jam on Canning Rd

[stumps.]

I love the short piece of road, that comes off the GFF down past the race course, up over GFF, past tennis centre then through the back of the CAS and onto Canning HWY. Slopped roads, wide, minimal traffic and reasonable views.

[Jiblet]

^yeah past Burswood golf course etc? shame it's 60 through there.
