National Route 37 (Kamilaroi Highway) (Gunnedah to Quirindi)
Named after the traditional owners, the highway links
the Hunter Valley with Outback NSW.
The journey begins just across the Great Dividing
Range at Willow Tree, before following the Namoi
River as it makes its way toward the Darling River then
onto Bourke.
Connecting to the agricultural heartland of NSW, which
grows everything from wheat, to cotton, to sunflowers
and offers attractions that 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 towns such as
Quirindi, Gunnedah, Narrabri, Brewarrina and Walgett
before reaching the Darling River Port of Bourke.
