National Highway 15 (New England Highway (Tamworth to
Moonbi) Former Alignments between
Tamworth and Moonbi
Proclaimed a
State Highway on 8th August
1928, the New England Highway starts in NSW at
Hexham, 15km West of Newcastle and heads north-west
entering the Hunter Valley region, eventually climbing
into the Great Dividing Range to the coal mining areas
of Muswellbrook. From there the highway heads North
into Tamworth and climbs again into the New England
Region, bypassing Armidale, across the ridge tops to
Glen Innes, Tenterfield and eventually the QLD border
at Wallangarra, it then heads into the fruit and agricultural
districts of Stanthorpe and North again to Warwick.
After heading North from the Cunningham
Hwy turnoff, the New England Hwy changes shields to
NR42 passing through the beef and wool farming areas
to Toowoomba. Heading North from Toowoomba, the highway
passes through lush green dairying pastures and thick
vegetation up into Crows Nest, stopping at the D'Aguilar
Highway at Yarraman.
