Map with all coordinates: The Mount Lindesay Road is a connecting road in the extreme northeast of the Australian state of New South Wales . It connects the New England Highway and the Bruxner Highway in Tenterfield with the Mount Lindesay Highway in Woodenbong , whose continuation to the southeast it is.
Origin of name
Mount Lindesay Road is named after Mount Lindesay , a mountain in the eastern part of Mount Barney National Park on the Queensland border . The road does not pass this mountain, but its continuation to the northeast, towards Brisbane , the Mount Lindesay Highway.
course
In Tenterfield, Mount Lindesay Road branches off to the north from the New England Highway (N15) and the Bruxner Highway (R44). The narrow, subordinate road, which still has a route number, leads to Boonoo Boonoo , a village on the eastern edge of the Bald Rock National Park . A little northeast of the village is the Boonoo Boonoo National Park . For both national parks, Mount Lindesay Road is the only access option.
At Wilson's Downfall , the road reaches the Queensland border. A few kilometers further are the settlements of Amosfield and Liston . Mount Lindesay Road continues north-northeast along the upper reaches of the Maryland River at the foot of the McPherson Range . Soon Wylie Creek is reached. Shortly thereafter, the road crosses the river and a little later again reaches the border with Queensland, along which it leads to Legume .
There the Killarney Road branches off to the north , which leads over the border to Warwick . The Mount Lindesay Road continues to the east and passes in the south the three national parks on the border with Queensland, the Koreelah National Park , the Mount Clunie National Park and the Mount Nothofagus National Park . In Woodenbong the Mount Lindesay Road merges into the Mount Lindesay Highway (R13).
State of development
The road has two lanes and most of the route is paved. Dirt stretches are between Boonoo Boonoo and Wilsons Downfall and between Wylie Creek and Legume . Between Legume and Woodenbong , Mount Lindesay Road is a little wider than on the rest of the route, but very steep and winding.
