Castlereagh Highway & Carnarvon Highway
The Castlereagh Highway travels from New South Wales into
Queensland. The Castlereagh Highway starts just outside
of Lithgow in NSW at the junction with the Great Western
Highway and runs in a north-westerly direction past
Mudgee and Gulgong, past Gilgandra until it reaches
the Queensland border at Hebel. From there it continues
to the town of St George where it terminates. A55 continues
from here as the Carnarvon Highway.
Centres along the route include (NSW) Mudgee, Gulgong,
Dunedoo, Gilgandra, Coonamble, Walgett, Lightning Ridge,
(QLD) Hebel, Dirranbandi and St George. Click
