Arriving from Sydney via Bathurst (phone us on 6365 1231 for help en route)
Just before the City of Orange is the village of Lucknow. It is a 50km/hr
zone.
This is the last
stop for fuel (not 24hr) en route to Abby Lodge.
Five km or so further on you will be at the outskirts of the city of Orange where
you will then encounter a 80km/hr speed
restriction sign.
One kilometre further on there is a 50km/hr speed restriction sign.
Continue on for 500m or so going past the 'Orange Homemaker Centre' on your
left & take the first road on the right (at the traffic lights) after this 50km/hr sign.
Continue along this road - which is Lone Pine Avenue - leaving the Ford/Nissan
car yard on your right and Prime TV buildings on your left
Proceed onwards along this road (which changes name from Lone Pine Avenue to Wakeford
Street) & straight across a 'Stop' controlled intersection with Icely Road.
Proceed along
this street (Winter Street) to the T
junction. The sign in front of you indicates 'Bed & Breakfast 9km' to the right.
Turn right at this T junction into Ophir Road.
Continue along this road - going straight across the roundabout - for 3.5km.
Here you will see a sign indicating a right hand
turn
to 'Ophir 21 via Lower Lewis Ponds'
Take this turn to the right.
Continue along this road (Banjo Paterson Way) for a distance of 3.5km.
Slow down, continue on a short distance and take the next turn to the right
- into Strathnook Lane - which
occurs on a slight crest in the road.
There is, too, a sign at this junction which reads 'ABBY LODGE'. From here lookout for Kangaroos!!!
Continue slowly to the very end of this road (2.2km) going over the crest of a hill & steeply
downwards to a T Junction.
Follow the bitumen turning first left at the T Junction and then immediately right through the first
entry on the right.
If the sliding gate is closed stop and press the red call button on the intercom console
or phone 6365
1231
or walk down the road to the building

Continue to drive slowly (obey speed limit signs & watch out for wildlife) for 400m and you are
at Abby Lodge. Park in front of the main entrance.
