Fossickers Way

Fossickers Way is a series of country roads located in the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia that form a 379-kilometre (235 mi)[1] scenic and tourist drive.

The scenic route draws its name of Fossickers Way due to the many deposits of gold and the variety of gemstones that have been found in the area (mostly by Europeans) since the early 1850s.

The highway passes through open wheat and grazing lands and deeply wooded slopes, through country towns rich in gold rush history.

As a scenic drive that incorporates seven shires in northern NSW,[5] Fossickers Way acts as an alternate route between Sydney and Brisbane.

Gwydir Highway passes through open wheat and grazing lands and deeply wooded slopes through country towns, rich in gold rush history.
