Mudgee to Tamworth road trip: Best stops, distance & drive time

Mudgee to Tamworth drive: Coolah Valley Lookout

The Coolah Valley Lookout makes for a good photo stop along this winding road, while the small town of Coolah at the end is the logical fuel stop on the Mudgee to Tamworth drive.

Then you need to continue along the uneventful Black Stump Way before eventually turning right down Purlewaugh Road. This becomes Coonabarabran Road and passes the Spring Ridge Rifle Range.

Just after the Mooki River crossing in Caroona, you’ll need to branch left onto Waverley Road, cross the Kamilaroi Highway and continue east along Gap Road.

Next up: Werris Creek.
