I can't tell you if it's worth it for the coffee (as I don't drink it), but Robertson is definitely worth if for the Big Potato (Turd)...
ride looks good. 5h is a conservative estimate, it took me 1.5 h to get from robertson to dapto at lazy touring pace. add extra time to get up the hill and coffee. 4-4.5 5 if you wanna take lots of pictures and relax it the big poo
oh ya, just in-case you didn't realize, you've added in a river crossing ( type -34.576815,150.726153 into google maps)

I do recall a discussion we had a few weeks ago re river crossing so still in the back of my mind but doable. Can't see myself getting too excited about 'The Big Turd' so I guess revised ride time would be 4hrs (being generous). So arrival back at Dapto for the 11.34 train to Central for 1.18pm arrival.ride looks good. 5h is a conservative estimate, it took me 1.5 h to get from robertson to dapto at lazy touring pace. add extra time to get up the hill and coffee. 4-4.5 5 if you wanna take lots of pictures and relax it the big poo

Ok, I've updated the ride to be Saturday 11th May. I personally will need to reapply for a leave pass to cover but the day appears to be free. I still have Saturday 18th up my sleeve (so I think anyway).
