Take the Sydney to Newcastle Expressway north and follow it right to its end. At the roundabout turn right and follow the “Pacific Highway 1” signs to Hexham and then left over the Hunter River bridge. ( “CAUTION” When you come to the Raymond Terrace roundabout IGNORE the sign that says Dungog Barrington Tops.) Drive straight through the roundabout following the signs to Barrington Tops via Gloucester. You will bypass Raymond Terrace, following the “Taree” signs. On the Pacific Highway 20 kms north of the Raymond Terrace By-pass Roundabout, turn left onto the “Bucketts Way” to Stroud ( Gloucester & Barrington Tops). The turn off to “Riverwood Downs” is on your left, 17 kms beyond Stroud. Do watch for the turn off, as it comes up rather quickly if you are travelling at highway speed. Then just follow the signs 8km in to Riverwood Downs. (Note: there is no need to go through “Newcastle” to get to Riverwood Downs.) 2. FROM NEWCASTLE
Coming from Newcastle take the Pacific Hwy North. ( “CAUTION” When you come to the Raymond Terrace roundabout IGNORE the sign that says Dungog -Barrington Tops.) Drive straight through the roundabout following the sign to Barrington Tops via Gloucester. On the Pacific Highway 20 kms north of the Raymond Terrace By-pass roundabout, turn left onto the “Bucketts Way” to Stroud ( Gloucester & Barrington Tops).

You will see from a map that we are situated between Dungog and Gloucester. Coming from the North, it depends whether you intend to travel on the New England or Pacific Highways. If you are on the New England Hwy, you turn off the Highway at Uralla (just south of Armidale) and proceed through Walcha and Nowendoc to Gloucester and then follow the directions from Gloucester as listed below OR you can turn off at Singleton and proceed through Gresford to Dungog and then follow the map from Dungog to Monkerai. The last 17kms is a good gravel road (The Uralla turn off is the shortest and quickest option).. If you are travelling on the Pacific Hwy, turn right at Nabiac to Krambach. At Krambach turn left onto the Bucketts Way to Gloucester. From Gloucester, head South for about 35 kms towards Newcastle. You will pass through the villages of “Stratford”, “Craven” and “Wards River”and will find the turn to Monkerai on your right about 5kms South of Wards River.
