Bucketts Way is a country road linking Gloucester to Taree and Raymond Terrace, in New South Wales, Australia.〔(Bucketts Way - Formerly part of the Pacific Highway from 1928 until 1952 ), ''Ozroads: the Australian Roads Website''. Retrieved on 15 May 2008.〕 It was named after the Bucketts, a prominent range near Gloucester. At the length of about , it was the former alignment of the Pacific Highway between Raymond Terrace and Taree from 1928 until 1952. In the south, the Bucketts Way branches off to the west of the Pacific Highway north of the Raymond Terrace bypass. Heading north, it crosses the Karuah River about south of Stroud and then roughly follows the course of the Karuah River upstream in a west-north-westerly direction for approximately . It then turns north-north-east and then north for until it reaches Gloucester, crossing the Wards and Avon rivers on the way. The North Coast Railway line runs parallel with it from just north-east of Stroud Road to Gloucester. At Gloucester, taking Thunderbolts Way leads to the Northern Tablelands and various other national parks and riverside camping reserves along the way. The Bucketts Way continues eastwards to Krambach and then to Taree where it rejoins the Pacific Highway.〔; Maps 9232 Newcastle, 9233 Dungog, 9234 Upper Manning, 9334 Wingham〕 It provides access to the Barrington Tops National Park, and is used by tourists as a very scenic alternative to the Pacific Highway. The Bucketts Way travels through four council areas: Port Stephens, Great Lakes, Gloucester and Greater Taree. Some Gloucester Shire councillors have proposed renaming the section of Bucketts Way south of Gloucester to Thunderbolts Way,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bucketts Way - Road Re-Naming )〕 as is shown on some tourist maps. This would result in one continuously named road stretching from the Pacific Highway near Raymond Terrace to the New England Highway at Uralla and beyond. However, there is significant community opposition to a name change. ==See also== * Highways in Australia * List of highways in New South Wales 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bucketts Way」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
