Western New England include the western areas of New England, New South Wales. The region includes the local government areas of Inverell, Gwydir, Narrabri and Moree Plains. Perched on the edge of the outback, the area is best known for its classic rural Australian culture, but also for its rolling plains.
NSW TrainLink trains connect Sydney to Moree passing Narrabri and Gunnedah after branching out in Werris Creek just after Quirindi. To get to towns such as Wee Waa or Burren Junction, there is a coach line from Narrabri.
