I drove (in the Impreza) all the way up yesterday with Freebird and our better halves. Up as far as Jackson's Bay, road bikes could do it but a lot of care would be required because of loose metal. To be honest, I don't think I could do it on the Blackbird. I'd say that adventure tyres as a minimum would be required to Fletcher's Bay because of the steepness of some of the hills, loose metal and one ford in a dip with an uneven bottom. Quick evasive action of occasional high speed locals is also required.
What a wonderful, magical part of the country and long may it stay unspoiled. There was even a pod of dolphins about 50 m from the shore at Fletcher's Bay. Also a naval exercise towards Great Barrier with aircraft, frigates and what may have been an Aussie sub.
