A few options,Hawk.
#1 Stay on the M5 all the way ($3.30 toll at Moorebank PLUS $4.00 in the city)Thru Harbour Tunnel...exit Gore Hill Fwy at Pacific Hwy then all the way to Syd-Newcastle Fwy and Nth.
#2 Exit M5 at The Cross Roads...turn `right` onto Camden Valley Way and Hume Hwy. Follow the Hume into Liverpool. Turn `left`at Cumberland Hwy. Follow that all the way....will join up with Pennant Hills Rd and eventually Syd-Newcastle Fwy. (probably best option this one)
#3 Exit M5 at The Cross Roads...turn `left` onto Camden Valley Way....turn `right`onto Cowpasture Rd. Follow that all the way to Eastern Ck. (bit tricky after that and best get some directions)...go thru Arndell Pk,Doonside,Quakers Hill,Parklea,Castle Hill and onto Pennant Hills Rd and nth from there. A lot less traffic this way but also a bit zig-zaggy!
Trick is...get thru EARLY otherwise there`s a shit-load of traffic to contend with EVERYWHERE!!!
NB: Speed and Red-light cameras are everywhere in plague proportions...stay alert,mate.
Good luck Hawk
