A Tourist Road / Drive is a public road or road within a public reserve which is expected to assist in making accessible areas or districts used or likely to be used by tourists. 1
A new provision in the Main Roads Act of December 1960 allowed the DMR to create Tourist Roads. The DMR provided assistance to local councils for works on Tourist Roads. By 30 June 1962, twelve roads had been proclaimed Tourist Roads. 1
Tourist Roads could be proclaimed after an alteration to the Act in 1961. They were aimed to provide access to natural features of tourist interest which otherwise might not be accessible. The first to be proclaimed was a road to the look-out over the Burragorang Valley in Wollondilly Shire. 1
Below are the various routes this site has photos of. The routes are sorted by their route number.
