The "Other Way" to Marysville
If the Black Spur is the "Front Way" to Marysville and the Reefton Spur is "The Back Way" then the Acheron pass is definitely the "Other way".
Small issue though, its 35 km with at least 15-20km of that on dirt. Meaning the Harley isn't really the bike of choice but when has that stopped me. I recently found myself in that neck of the woods and given it was post summer (and a shit tonne of Autumn rain), the ground was smooth and there is bugger all dust.
So I figured bugger it and went for a burn.

The first 15km from the Marysville side is really cool, its a tight sealed road with plentyy of blind corners so you have to take it easy but when you get on to the straights its almost like the tall Australian hardwoods form a tunnel.
I was all for taking it easy and looking for every photo op.
