Fire-Affected “Driving Roads”

[Citroënbender]

I’ve been itching to get out for more than a couple of hours at a time, and go for a blat.

Have seen plenty on the news and info websites about fire affecting some of the more popular ex-Sydney day drives.

I don’t want to be viewed as an insensitive rubbernecker, or think I’m in for a good run when half the road turns out damaged and grossly speed reduced. Plus I can’t find any decent info on the state of the roads - just if they’re closed or not.

Say I favoured the George Downes Drive-Broke-Mt Thorley-Putty Rd loop, what sort of shape is it currently in?
