3.5 hours is pushing it. Working backwards.

Booroomba carpark, 8mins to the tar, 8mins to the Apollo turn off (who hoo downhill get the 4WD airbourne), 15 mins back to the burbs. Turn right at sign to Cooma, 8mins to cooma road, turn left, 100kmh (watch speed camera *2 to airport, 15 mins, majura road to highway 10 mins (watch for portable speed cameras), turn right, 3 h to sydney end of M5. 4h 8mins give or take. (no food or comfort breaks...)

Going down the new GDE, is crap because of all the traffic lights and general road building carnage happening around there.

If you don't want the sun then Red Rocks in the arvo is good, toaster oven in the morning, you could go to Kambah rocks 5 mins walk from RR in the early morning to avoid the heat at RR then have a swim in the river (clothes optional) then head over to RR in the arvo, climb to dark.

Just a word of warning if you decide to swim a Kambah pool, don't accidentally turn right at the car park. "Not that there's anything wrong with that." ahem.

There is no car camping allowed at the Booroomba car park, but if you stay up top its no problem. The CCA has checked this with rangers, 'bush camping' is permitted in the Namadgee NP.
