SPECIAL FEATURE Kamilaroi Country The heart of northern NSW The Kamilaroi Highway, declared in 1999, is a relative newcomer for an epic road trip. But its 600 kms are already popular with travellers heading across NSW. It’s easy to see why as it links the New England Highway in the east with the Darling River Run in the west. From Willow Tree to Bourke, the Kamilaroi Highway runs through easygoing country with a calm beauty. Think of the Liverpool Plains with fields of sunflowers and wheat gently waving in the breeze. 46 Think of country towns, some with soothing artesian spas, lashings of local history, and all brimming with country charm.
