Former Alignment: Newell
Highway / Leichhardt Highway Goondiwindi
The Leichhardt Highway is a north-south route through
central and southern Queensland, providing a link to
cities and towns such as Rockhampton, Gladstone and
Mackay to New South Wales and the southern states.
The highway starts on the Queensland side at Goondiwindi,
as a continuation from the Newell Highway in NSW after
crossing the QLD / NSW border. Heading north from Goondiwindi,
the highway is part of the National Highway until
it leaves the Gore Highway duplex about 20 kilometres
away.
