The Scenic Border of New South Wales and Queensland

Getting There

• Car

  To reach the Border of New South Wales and Queensland from any location in Western New South Wales, the most common method is by car. If you are starting from Dubbo, head north on the Mitchell Highway (A39) towards Gilgandra. Continue on the A39 until you reach the junction with the Castlereagh Highway (A55). Turn left onto the Castlereagh Highway and follow it northeast. Stay on the Castlereagh Highway for approximately 250 kilometers, passing through towns like Coonabarabran and Walgett. You will eventually arrive at Angledool, where the border is located. Make sure your vehicle has enough fuel, as services can be sparse in this remote area. Fuel costs can vary, so be prepared for potential expenses.

• Public Transportation

  For those not traveling by car, public transport options are limited. You can take a bus from major towns like Dubbo or Coonabarabran to Walgett. From Walgett, you will need to arrange for a taxi or rideshare to Angledool, which is about 60 kilometers away. Be aware that public transport schedules may not be frequent, so plan your trip accordingly. Always check the latest schedules and book your ride in advance if possible, as costs will vary depending on the service.

• Taxi/Rideshare

  If you're in Walgett or nearby towns, you can hire a taxi or use a rideshare service to reach the border. This method is more flexible, allowing you to travel directly to Angledool without worrying about bus schedules. Ensure you confirm the fare before starting your journey, as prices may vary based on distance and waiting time.
