Hi Frances
I’m glad you enjoyed the photos. We love travelling on the Lions Road – you’re lucky to have experienced it so long ago.
I agree – some parts must have been frightening in wet weather when it was unpaved.
BTW, my name’s Neil, not Chris. But you can call me “Chris” for short if you like 😉

Chris, thanks for the article, and particularly all the pics! It was great to show my friend why taking the Lions Rd (lower section with creek crossings) is so much more fun way to travel across the border, for an upcoming fwd family holiday travelling from Brisbane to Scotts Head for a week. I am 50 now, and knew this road from when it was first opened in 1971, we travelled it every year (sometimes slipping and sliding in the mud to get up to the border!) before it was bitumen. Bit terrifying when I was small! Your pics do this road justice… THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🙂

In reply to Christine.

Thanks for reading the article, Chris.

On a clear day, it’s well worth going up to The Pinnacle lookout, on Tweed Range Road. I’ve done it in our 2WD Camry Sedan before – it’s a gravel road but it’s smooth. The views are breathtaking. The route we took in the car is at the end of this article:

If you do go, I’ll be really interested to hear what you think!

Very interesting read Neil. The pics of course bring it to life. Looking forward to doing this route myself on the motor. Doesn’t look like too much dirt. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Chris Grant (Harteveld)
