National Highway 39 (Newell Highway)
The Newell Highway is a major highway
in New South Wales. It runs parallel to the eastern
coast a few hundred kilometres inland, and is the main
inland direct road link from Victoria to Queensland,
bypassing the more congested coastal areas of New South
Wales. It runs through Boggabilla, Moree, Narrabri,
Coonabarabran, Gilgandra, Dubbo, Parkes, Forbes, West
Wyalong and Narrandera. Unlike most highways in New
South Wales, which are named after early explorers,
the Newell Highway is named after the head of the Government
Main Roads Department in the 1930s.
In Queensland NH 39 is the Leichardt
Highway, before it loses it's National Highway status
20 km north of Goondiwindi.
