The New England North West region stretches from the New England Highway to the edge of the Outback, including the Great Dividing Range between Tamworth and Tenterfield, the Namoi and Gwydir River Valleys of Inverell, Moree and Narrabri, and the wild west frontier towns of Walgett and Lightning Ridge.
The region is crossed by the Newell, Gwydir and New England Highways and is well serviced by air routes from Sydney and Brisbane. The New England North West region is a farming region producing cotton, wool, wheat and nuts with a strong cattle and sheep farming community. Australia’s largest farm show is hosted at Gunnedah each year called the Ag Quip. The New England North West region offers a range of activities and attractions making it an ideal holiday destination.
Visit Tenterfield or venture further afield to Moree, Narrabri and other farming centres. Each has its own appeal. Away from the bigger centres, there are National Parks and wide stretches of farmland to explore. There are also excellent fishing and fossicking opportunities throughout the region. But wherever you go, rest assured a warm country welcome awaits you.
