*From Tamworth up the Moonbi climb to Uralla and Armidale, to the escarpment edges at Wollomombi, Dangars Gorge and Apsley, via Walcha and Guyra to Glen Innes, down into the Gondwana rainforest of Gibraltar Range and Washpool, and via Inverell and Copeton Dam to the granite country of Torrington: around 915 km across the coolest highlands in New South Wales.*

## The spirit of the route

Beyond the Moonbi climb the air grows thinner and clearer. The New England Tablelands sit at around 1,000 metres, and you can tell: poplars and elms line the farmsteads, granite boulders lie scattered across the paddocks, and on winter mornings the frost crunches underfoot as you step out of the sliding door. The plateau feels gentle, but at its eastern edge it drops away abruptly – at Wollomombi, Dangars and Apsley, creeks plunge into gorges hundreds of metres deep, and wedge-tailed eagles circle below you. In between lie small towns with brick cathedrals, bushranger legends and Celtic pride, a circle of granite stones above Glen Innes and, at the end, the rainforest of Gibraltar Range, where mosses and tree ferns recall a time before the continents drifted apart. Nights are quiet and cold, the Milky Way hangs over the campsites, and kangaroos are out on the roads – reason enough to arrive before dusk.

## Stage-by-stage plan

### Stage 1: Tamworth to Armidale (via Moonbi, Kootingal and Uralla) (approx. 115 km)

- **The drive:** Tamworth is just the starting point: take the New England Highway (A15) north-east through the Peel Valley to Kootingal, then the long climb over the Moonbi Range with overtaking lanes – trucks crawl up here in low gear, and with a heavy vehicle you should drop a gear yourself. At the top the plateau opens out with paddocks, windbreaks and granite outcrops. Continue via Bendemeer to Uralla and on to Armidale. Around 1.5 hours of pure driving time, half a day with stops.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Tamworth, briefly: the Big Golden Guitar on the southern edge of town and the handprints in Hands of Fame Park are reminders that Australia’s biggest country music festival takes place here every January; from Oxley Scenic Lookout you look out over the town and the Peel Valley.
  - Moonbi Lookout above Kootingal: a view back over the Peel Valley and the hills around Tamworth; the access road is narrow – with a large vehicle, check the turning space first.
  - Uralla and the bushranger Captain Thunderbolt (Frederick Ward), who was shot near Uralla in 1870: the granite outcrop Thunderbolt’s Rock on the highway south of town, an equestrian statue in the centre, his grave in the cemetery and an exhibition at McCrossin’s Mill Museum.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Armidale Tourist Park on the eastern edge of town, on the road out to the Waterfall Way: powered and unpowered sites, amenities, suitable for caravans and motorhomes; handy for setting off to the gorges. If you’d rather stay in Uralla, there’s the Country Road Caravan Park. Check facilities, waste disposal and winter rates with the park in advance.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Armidale Regional Council and Uralla Shire don’t designate any areas in town for free overnight stays; camping in your vehicle on streets, in parks and in town-centre car parks isn’t permitted. The Uralla South Rest Area on the highway towards Kentucky is meant as a rest stop for a driving break; only stay overnight if no signs say otherwise.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Fill up and shop in Tamworth before the climb – prices in the regional city are usually better than in the small plateau towns. In Uralla you can pull over easily along the wide main street; in central Armidale parking bays are short, so longer vehicles are best left on the side streets while you walk.

### Stage 2: Armidale to Dangars Gorge (via Wollomombi Falls) (approx. 105 km)

- **The drive:** Spend the morning exploring Armidale on foot, then head east on the Waterfall Way (B78) across open grazing land to the hamlet of Wollomombi and the side road to the falls (around 40 km from Armidale). Head back towards Armidale and, just before town, turn south-east onto Dangarsleigh Road to Dangars Gorge (a good 20 km from Armidale); the last few kilometres are gravel and slippery after rain. Around 2 hours of driving in total. If you follow the Waterfall Way further via Ebor to Dorrigo, you’ll find that section in the CampingSpirit travel guide to the North Coast of New South Wales.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Armidale: two cathedrals of dark brick – the Anglican St Peter’s and the Catholic St Mary and St Joseph –, the New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM) with its important collections of Australian art, and the University of New England campus with the Booloominbah mansion.
  - Wollomombi Falls in Oxley Wild Rivers National Park: one of the highest waterfalls in New South Wales plunges around 220 m into a gorge where the Wollomombi and Chandler rivers meet; lookouts near the picnic area, and the rim walk runs along the edge.
  - Dangars Falls: at the end of the access road you look from a platform over a fall of around 120 m into the gorge – most impressive after heavy rain; McDirtys Walk follows the gorge rim.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Dangars Gorge Campground (NSW National Parks), a few steps from the falls: just 7 marked unpowered sites, suitable for tents, camper trailers, caravans and camping beside your vehicle, toilets, barbecues, picnic tables. Bring your own drinking water and firewood. No camping fee, but online booking via NSW National Parks with a small booking fee. Alternative: the small Wollomombi Campground near the falls with 10 unpowered sites, also for camper trailers and caravans, one toilet and barbecues; the water there is untreated and must be boiled. Also bookable via NSW National Parks.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In the national park, only on the campgrounds, not in lookout or picnic car parks. There are a few rest areas along the Waterfall Way for breaks; stay overnight only where signs don’t prohibit it.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Dangars Gorge is remote and has no reliable mobile coverage: stock up on water, food and fuel in Armidale. The gorge rims aren’t fenced all the way – stay on the paths, especially with children and in fog. If you’re travelling in a rental vehicle, check beforehand whether the gravel access road is allowed.

### Stage 3: Dangars Gorge to Apsley Falls (via Uralla and Walcha) (approx. 105 km)

- **The drive:** Take Dangarsleigh Road back to the New England Highway, head south to Uralla and pick up the Thunderbolts Way there: around 40 km through rolling sheep country to Walcha, a quiet road with crests and cattle grids. From Walcha take the Oxley Highway (B56) about 20 km east to the Apsley Falls turn-off. Around 1.5 hours of driving.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Walcha: open-air sculptures along the main street and by the Apsley River, plus galleries – a small town that sees itself as an open-air gallery; a quiet walking path by the river.
  - Apsley Falls: platforms and a loop walk across both sides of the gorge show the multi-tiered fall of the Apsley River and the deeply incised gorge; in the evening light the walls glow ochre.
  - Tia Falls further east on the Oxley Highway: a quieter detour with a view into another of the national park’s gorges – the access road is unsealed.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Apsley Falls Campground (NSW National Parks), right by the gorge: 14 marked unpowered sites for tents, caravans, camper trailers and camping beside your vehicle, toilets, barbecues, picnic tables. The water is untreated and must be boiled for at least 10 minutes. Book online or by phone via NSW National Parks. With power: Walcha Caravan Park on the corner of North and Middle Street in Walcha, with dump point and gas swap.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Walcha has rest areas on the roads out of town (Walcha North on Ohio North Road, Walcha East on the Oxley Highway), which many travellers use for one night; the signs on site are what counts. In the national park, only on the campground.
- **Insider tip for campers:** On the Thunderbolts Way and the Oxley Highway, kangaroos and wallaroos cross at dusk – plan to arrive at Apsley Falls before sunset. Fill up and shop in Walcha; at night, temperatures on the plateau drop towards zero even in spring and autumn, and well below in winter.

### Stage 4: Apsley Falls to Guyra (via Walcha and Armidale) (approx. 120 km)

- **The drive:** Back to Walcha and along the Thunderbolts Way to Uralla, then north on the New England Highway through Armidale. Beyond Armidale the highway keeps climbing gently; Guyra sits at around 1,300 m and is one of the highest towns on the route. A good 1.5 hours of driving; an easy day with time for shopping and laundry in Armidale.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - In the morning, one more visit to the edge at Apsley Falls as mist rises from the gorge.
  - Mother of Ducks Lagoon Nature Reserve on the edge of Guyra: a highland wetland with waterbirds and, in the warmer half of the year, migratory birds from northern Asia such as Latham’s snipe; keep quiet and bring binoculars.
  - Guyra itself: potato and lamb country, a small main street and wide views across the plateau; on clear evenings a good place for stargazing.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Guyra has a small caravan park in town with powered sites and amenities; check capacity and facilities in advance. If you want more choice, stay in Armidale and drive on via Guyra the next morning.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Overnight stays aren’t permitted at Mother of Ducks Lagoon – it’s a nature reserve. Rest areas on the New England Highway are meant for driving breaks; truck bays are off-limits.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Between Armidale and Guyra, the highway is the frostiest stretch of the route in winter: black ice on bridges and in dips in the morning, and occasional snow. After frosty nights, wait until the sun has reached the road before setting off, and keep an eye on your gas supply for the heater.

### Stage 5: Guyra to Gibraltar Range (via Glen Innes) (approx. 130 km)

- **The drive:** Take the New England Highway around 55 km north to Glen Innes, then the Gwydir Highway (B76) east towards Grafton. After about 70 km you reach the Gibraltar Range: the grazing land ends, granite domes and heath alternate with eucalypt forest, and at the eastern edge the highway drops in long descents towards the coast. Around 9 km of gravel lead to Mulligans Campground. A good 2 hours of driving.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Australian Standing Stones in Glen Innes: a circle of granite blocks above the town, dedicated in February 1992 as a memorial to Celtic settlers; every year in early May the multi-day Australian Celtic Festival is held here.
  - Land of the Beardies History House in Glen Innes: a local museum on the region’s settlement history; the nickname goes back to two bearded stockmen of the pioneer era.
  - Gibraltar Range National Park (part of the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests of Australia): Anvil Rock (4 km return) and Dandahra Crags (6 km loop) from Mulligans Drive, with views over granite towers and forested gorges; in spring, waratahs flower in the heath.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Mulligans Campground in Gibraltar Range National Park on Dandahra Creek, the starting point for several walks: sites for vehicles with tents and a limited number of caravan sites up to 6 m. Longer rigs and motorhomes use Boundary Falls Campground closer to the highway (a large open area, also for caravans over 6 m). In neighbouring Washpool National Park, Bellbird Campground lies near the Coachwood picnic area (17 sites, for vehicle-based camping, small caravans and camper trailers). Book online via NSW National Parks; don’t assume the drinking water is safe.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In Gibraltar Range and Washpool, only on the campgrounds. Glen Innes Severn Council doesn’t designate any areas in town for free overnight stays; caravan parks on the New England Highway and rest areas on the Gwydir Highway (observe the signs) are the options.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Fill up and buy groceries in Glen Innes – there’s nothing to buy in the national park, and heading east on the Gwydir Highway the petrol stations are far apart. Bring firewood, as collecting it is prohibited; leeches are common on damp tracks.

### Stage 6: Gibraltar Range to Inverell (via Washpool and Glen Innes) (approx. 170 km)

- **The drive:** In the morning, take around 4 km of gravel – steep and slippery when wet – into Washpool National Park to the Coachwood picnic area and back to the Gwydir Highway. Then head west across the plateau back to Glen Innes and continue on the Gwydir Highway around 67 km to Inverell; the landscape becomes drier, and granite gives way to basalt soils and wheat fields. Around 2.5 hours of driving.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Washpool Walk (8.5 km loop, 3–4 hours) from Coombadjha: through one of the largest stands of red cedar rainforest to have survived the logging era, with strangler figs, mosses and creeks.
  - Coombadjha Nature Stroll (800 m, wheelchair accessible) from the Coachwood picnic area – the short option for anyone who only wants an hour of rainforest.
  - Inverell, the “Sapphire City”: a town centre with buildings from the tin-mining era and the Inverell Transport Museum with vehicles from a century of rural life.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Inverell has several caravan parks with power, amenities and waste disposal on the edge of town. If you want to head straight to the lake, drive another 20 minutes or so to the Copeton Northern Foreshores (stage 7).
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Inverell Shire doesn’t designate any areas in town for free overnight stays; the low-cost alternative is the council’s sites at the Copeton Northern Foreshores. In Washpool National Park, only on the campgrounds (Bellbird, Coombadjha).
- **Insider tip for campers:** For the Washpool access road, consider leaving your trailer or caravan in the highway car park and driving down with just the tow vehicle; in rain the track is tricky for two-wheel drive. Inverell has large supermarkets, petrol stations and gas bottle swaps – good for restocking before Copeton and Torrington.

### Stage 7: Inverell to Copeton Dam (Northern Foreshores) (approx. 20 km)

- **The drive:** A short day: from Inverell head south-west on country roads through grazing land and granite boulders to the northern shore of Copeton Dam on the Gwydir River, one of the largest reservoirs in New South Wales. The roads are sealed all the way into the grounds. Just under 20 km, around 20 minutes of driving; spend the morning in Inverell.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Sapphires: Inverell has lived off gemstone finds for generations; in the surrounding area there are fossicking parks where you can search yourself with a sieve and wash trough – ask about rules and permits there or at the Visitor Centre.
  - Copeton Northern Foreshores: shoreline paths and viewing platforms over the lake; in the evening, eastern grey kangaroos graze between the sites.
  - Fishing for Murray cod and golden perch, or paddling from the jetty – you’ll need an NSW fishing licence; observe closed seasons.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Copeton Northern Foreshores (Inverell Shire Council): powered and unpowered sites, including drive-through sites, a modernised amenities block, laundry, camp kitchen, dump point and gas refills, fire pits and covered barbecue areas; book with the park. On another stretch of shoreline, Copeton Waters Holiday Park is the larger park, run by Reflections Holiday Parks. Rainwater tanks on the northern shore – better to fill up with drinking water in Inverell.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** On the lakeshore, overnight stays are only permitted at the two parks; the rest of the foreshore belongs to WaterNSW, and camping isn’t allowed there.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The lake level fluctuates a lot: at low water the boat ramps are left high and dry, and when the dam is full some shoreline paths are flooded – check the current level with WaterNSW. In summer it gets hot at the lake, and in winter the nights are frosty; plan for water and sun protection.

### Stage 8: Copeton Dam to Torrington (via Inverell, Glen Innes and Emmaville) (approx. 150 km)

- **The drive:** Back to Inverell, east on the Gwydir Highway to Glen Innes and from there north-west through mining country to Emmaville. From there a narrower road leads through granite outcrops and open woodland to Torrington on the edge of Torrington State Conservation Area; inside the reserve itself the tracks are unsealed. Around 2.5 hours of driving. If you continue north afterwards, you reach the New England Highway and Tenterfield via Deepwater, covered in the CampingSpirit travel guide to the Scenic Rim and Granite Belt.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Emmaville Mining Museum: commemorating the tin discoveries at Vegetable Creek, which drew thousands of miners to the area in the 19th century, many of them Chinese.
  - Torrington State Conservation Area: bizarre granite formations, including the “Mystery Face”, traces of abandoned mines and a rich display of wildflowers in spring.
  - Torrington: a tiny former tin and tungsten town, today a destination for fossickers looking for topaz, beryl and quartz – in the conservation area only in the designated zones (for example by the creek near Blatherarm) and only with hand tools; check the current rules with NSW National Parks.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Blatherarm Campground in Torrington State Conservation Area (NSW National Parks): a remote, basic campground in the forest with 10 marked unpowered sites, toilets, barbecues and picnic tables; no drinking water, so bring your own water and firewood. Areas 1 and 2 are accessible by two-wheel drive and also designated for caravans and camper trailers; area 3 is 4WD only and not suitable for caravans. Access via gravel; book online via NSW National Parks. For large motorhomes and long rigs, check suitability beforehand. With power and amenities: caravan parks in Glen Innes or Tenterfield.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In the conservation area, only on the campground. Tenterfield Shire and Glen Innes Severn only allow overnight stays in vehicles in town at caravan parks and designated areas.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Torrington has no petrol station and hardly any supplies, Emmaville only the basics – fill up in Inverell or Glen Innes. Mobile coverage is patchy in the granite country; download offline maps and tell someone your plans if you’re hiking into the conservation area.

## Camping practice & local rules

### Wild camping & overnight parking

- New South Wales doesn’t regulate free camping statewide: councils (here Tamworth Regional, Uralla, Armidale Regional, Walcha, Glen Innes Severn, Inverell, Tenterfield) decide on their land, NSW National Parks on national parks and state conservation areas, and WaterNSW on the dam foreshores. Sleeping in your vehicle isn’t allowed in town centres or in lookout and picnic car parks; rangers issue fines.
- Rest areas on highways (e.g. Uralla South, Walcha North and East) are meant for driving breaks. Many travellers stay one night there; the signs on site are what counts – truck bays are off-limits, and camping behaviour (awning, furniture, fire) is out of place there.
- NSW National Parks (Oxley Wild Rivers, Gibraltar Range, Washpool, Torrington): only on campgrounds, usually booked online or via the National Parks Contact Centre. Several campgrounds are free but require a booking with a fee. Where a daily vehicle fee applies, it’s included in the camping fee when you camp; check the current status and amounts on the NPWS website beforehand. Dogs, and drones without a permit, are prohibited in national parks.
- Fire: the Bush Fire Danger Period in NSW usually starts on 1 October, earlier or later depending on the council area and conditions; on Rural Fire Service Total Fire Ban days, open fires are prohibited. Don’t collect firewood in national parks. The Hazards Near Me app shows fires and bans.
- Apps: WikiCamps and CamperMate for campsites, rest areas and dump points with user reports, Live Traffic NSW for closures, snow and accidents on the New England, Gwydir and Oxley highways.

### Waste disposal & supplies

- Dump points: in the larger towns (Tamworth, Armidale, Glen Innes, Inverell) and at caravan parks; the Copeton Northern Foreshores have their own dump point. The NPWS campgrounds on the route have no waste disposal – empty your tanks beforehand.
- Water: tap water in the towns is drinkable. Apsley Falls and Wollomombi only have untreated water (boil it); at Dangars Gorge, in Gibraltar Range and Torrington rely on your own supplies; Copeton has rainwater tanks. Carry at least 40–60 litres in reserve.
- Gas: Australian bottles usually have an LCC27 valve, older ones a POL valve. Swaps at petrol stations and hardware stores in Tamworth, Armidale, Glen Innes and Inverell, refills at gas refill stations if the test date is valid, and also on site at the Copeton Northern Foreshores; European bottles won’t be refilled. In winter you’ll run the heater all night – consumption rises considerably.
- Fuel: Tamworth, Armidale, Glen Innes and Inverell are the reliable places to fill up. There’s no petrol station on the Gwydir Highway towards Gibraltar Range or in Torrington, and only a few in Uralla, Walcha and Guyra. The FuelCheck app compares prices in NSW.
- Shopping: large supermarkets in Tamworth, Armidale, Glen Innes and Inverell; Walcha, Guyra and Emmaville only have small shops.

### Vehicle size & traffic rules

- Drive on the left: overtake on the right, and go clockwise around roundabouts. Use the overtaking lanes on the Moonbi climb and don’t overtake trucks on descents; on gravel drive slowly and keep your distance to avoid stone chips.
- Speed: 50 km/h in towns, generally 100 km/h outside towns, and 110 km/h on upgraded sections of the New England Highway where signposted; school zones 40 km/h on school days during the times shown. Vehicles over 4.5 t are limited to 100 km/h. NSW uses speed, average-speed and mobile phone detection cameras.
- Tolls: there are no toll roads on the route. Only if you’re arriving from Sydney might you use tolled urban motorways – without an e-tag, pay within 72 hours; in NSW you can no longer nominate another driver, and rental vehicles add an admin fee.
- Animals: kangaroos, wallaroos and wombats cross mainly at dusk and at night; sheep and cattle also stand on the road on unfenced sections. Avoid driving outside towns at night if possible; otherwise drive slowly and don’t swerve suddenly.
- Winter: on the plateau between Armidale, Guyra and Glen Innes, frost and black ice are common from May to September; snowfall occurs and can briefly close the highway – check Live Traffic NSW, keep your low beams on and increase your following distance.
- Rental campervans and unsealed roads: rental terms often exclude gravel roads or only allow access roads to campgrounds; Dangars Gorge, Mulligans, Washpool and Torrington are on gravel routes – clarify in writing what’s covered before booking. A foreign driving licence that isn’t in English needs an International Driving Permit or an approved translation. Blood alcohol limit 0.05, 0.00 for learner and provisional drivers.

## CampingSpirit packing & preparation checklist

- A warm duvet or sleeping bag rated below zero, and a thermal mug – nights at 1,000 to 1,300 m are frosty even in autumn.
- An extra 20-litre water container: Dangars Gorge, Gibraltar Range and Torrington have no reliable drinking water, and at Apsley Falls it has to be boiled.
- Your own firewood and a gas stove with a windshield – collecting wood in national parks is prohibited, and on Total Fire Ban days gas is your only option.
- Leech protection (gaiters or salt) for the rainforest tracks in Washpool and Gibraltar Range.
- A sieve, small shovel and magnifying glass for fossicking around Inverell and Torrington – check permits and rules in advance.
- Binoculars for wedge-tailed eagles above the gorges and waterbirds at Mother of Ducks Lagoon.

_As of 2026-10. Closures, fees and booking rules change: check official sources before you go._
