State Route 95 (Warialda to Yetman)
State Route 95 forms part of the Fossickers Way Tourist
Drive in North Western NSW. It travels through the towns
of Tamworth, Attunga, Manilla, Barraba, Bingara, Warialda
Rail, Warialda, Coolatai and Yetman, plus several localities.
The route is generally well maintained (except around
Tamworth at Oxley Vale and between Coolatai and Yetman),
consisting of rural main road and rural highway qualities.
There are numerous rest areas and truck parking areas,
and the route duplexes with National Route 38 (Gwydir
Highway) for a few kilometres at Warialda. There are
no roundabouts or traffic lights from Oxley Vale to
Yetman. Once the route used to travel along the main
street of Manilla (Manilla Street) but now bypasses
the CBD.
Terminii (South) Corner of Marius and Brisbane Streets,
Tamworth, (North) Corner of Warialda Road and Bruxner
Highway, Yetman.
