'Great Divide to the Great Outback'
Named after the traditional owners, the sealed Highway links the Hunter Valley with Outback NSW.
This 600km journey begins just across the Great Dividing Range at Willow Tree, before following the course of the Namoi River as it makes its way toward the Darling River then onto Bourke.
This is the agricultural heartland of NSW, growing everything from wheat and cotton to sunflowers and sorghum. Attractions of these lands range from the sight of giant combine harvesters travelling through acres of grain to mountain vistas and Dorothea Mackellar's "sunburnt plains"
The journey passes through many attractive towns such as Willow Tree, Quirindi, Gunnedah, Boggabri, Narrabri, Wee Waa, Burren Junction, Walgett, Brewarrina and Bourke. Loop roads which take in Moree and Lightening Ridge are towns which are best not missed on the journey along this scenic highway!
