Just FYI, these 2 are the same road. Also called the Tail of the Dragon, it has 318 turns in 11 miles. A great driving road for sure!

Great Ocean Road (as mentioned) Victoria, Australia.
Skyline Blvd (and surrounding roads) California.
I grew up on one of them and I now live on the other. : )
Skyline thru Woodside Rd and La Honda is so good they should all be made one-way (I think installing turn number signs and brake markers would be going too far ... : )

Great thread! What about some good Northern California Gold Country routes? I've heard their are some spectacular roads within driving distance of the Bay Area.

The last 8 miles of Wentworth Springs Road is my favorite. At the 38 second mark - that corner is bliss.
I used to lose my mind riding my Ducati 999S on this road...

Nice! Wifey is taking the kids to visit her family in June and I will have a few days to "hit the road", as they say, without a lot of explanation! These routes sound perfect!
