Moree to Dubbo drive: Moree to Narrabri
The first leg of the journey, from Moree to Narrabri, is best tackled in one straight hit. It only takes an hour and 15 minutes and there’s really not much to see on the way. One possible option is detouring east to the Mount Kaputar National Park. There are some lovely walking trails, mountainside views and birdwatching opportunities around Mount Kaputar.
Other things to do in Narrabri include Sawn Rocks and Waa Gorge, in the northern section of the Mount Kaputar National Park. In the town itself, the highlight is the Narrabri Old Gaol and Museum. And, just west of town, there’s the Australia Telescope Compact Array, where a rather cool-looking series of radio telescopes receive signals from space.
Narrabri accommodation possibilities include the four star Adelong Motel and the well-located Mid Town Inn.
