Grey Gum Cafe
The call to arms saw Lucky, Briz, CC and Nige turn up at Maccas.
Briz and CC were not too keen on a run down the Putty again and opted for a ride up to the brewery at Newcastle and home via Catho Bay Pub.
Lucky and Nige headed off for the new cafe we had heard about the previous week. Instructions were that it was ‘a couple of k’s past the old halfway roadhouse’ on the Windsor side. Just when we were about to give up and turn around, we came across a sign indicating the cafe was only one more kilometre away (it was more like 17k’s from the old halfway house).
It is located exactly halfway along Putty Road, 86kms from Windsor and 86kms to Singleton.
They are open 7 days, with a full menu including pizza, pasta, cakes, sandwiches, coffee, soft drinks and even a souvenir shelf. They are also fully licensed but do not sell fuel.
It has modern decor including air-conditioning, a disabled access ramp, verandah dining, covered lawn dining, male/female toilets and showers, and most importantly, a purpose built concrete parking strip for motorcycles.
The staff and owners are very friendly and introduced themselves. Plenty of other riders came and went while were there.
This particular return run through Broke and the Putty has become my favourite ride, just the right mix of bendy bits and places where you can go ballistic.
