Then go through Fitzroy Falls down Barrengarry Mountain to Kangaroo Valley (made for MINI road #3). The pub is a good lunch break with good meals. Then head on to Nowra over Cambewarra Mountain (made for MINI road #4). You can then return to Sydney north along the Princes Highway.

We did (most of) this drive last weekend. Open the following attachment with Google Earth and you can see exactly what we're on about.

and here's a jpg overview of the route

Other options also include:

Jamberoo Pass - between Jamberoo and Robertson
Jamberoo Rd - between Jamberoo and Kiama (also worth a look at Swamp Rd to Dunmore)
Wattamola Rd - alternate pass between Kangaroo Valley and Berry -- some of it was unsealed last time I tried it
Some great little back roads between Bomaderry and Gerroa.

There's plenty of wonderful driving options on the south coast ... but I'm biased 'cause I live there!
