The flat lands and eastern dividing range continued for a further 53km from Narrabri to Boggabri (Population 856) and then another 46km to Gunnedah (Population 12,690). Boggabri belongs to the past. Remnants of past glorious years and worth a stop. Just outside is the large rock formation known as "Gin's Leap" where the aboriginal version of Romeo and Juliet took place - a young couple who jumped from the rock to their deaths rather than marry people they did not love. Gunnedah on the other hand is very modern and very well equipped with refurbished pubs, painted grain silos and a FINA compliant Olympic Pool that I swam 2km in. Gunnedah also features Porcupine Lookout - the closest, highest and best town lookout I have seen. At 433m you can even still see Mount Kaputar National Park which we trekked yesterday even though it is 96km away!!! Feast your eyes on Boggabri-Gunnedah...
