The longest Highway in NSW snakes 1060 kilometres from Tocumwal near the Victorian border to Goondiwindi, just into Queensland. It s a magnificent drive through wheat and wool country, where sheep nibble on hillsides and cockatoos cackle among the gum trees, but what sets it apart are its astronomical sights, with observatories in Parkes, Gilganda, Coonabarabran and Narrabri, plus Australia s first Dark Sky Park in the Warrumbungles.
