half way between sydney and canberra Page 263

By road on the Hume and Federal Highways, the halfway mark between Sydney and Canberra is roughly around Sutton Forest/Moss Vale/Berrima in the Southern Highlands. The distance is about 286 km end to end, so you’re looking near the 140–145 km point—right around the Illawarra Highway exit. Handy pit stops include the Sutton Forest service centres; pies in Bowral are a deliciously off-course temptation if you’re weak-willed (join the club). It’s neat, green, and perfectly placed for a leg stretch and a coffee that won’t taste like it’s been filtered through a tyre.
