Morning Brenton
According to Google Maps :-
Via the Sturt and Hume is 1783 k's and time is 20 hours and 24 minutes - this road has tolls.
Via the Barrier is 1817 and time is 20 hours and 40 minutes.
I've driven from
Tamworth to
Adelaide a few times and always travel via
Broken Hill - good road and no tolls. If you decide on the Barrier be aware that fuel at
Wilcannia is expensive and the fuel stop between
Wilcannia and
Cobar was closed last time we drove through.
Safe travels
Cheers

Ditto. This way also keeps you out of
Sydney and
Newcastle.

I mucked that up. What I meant to say was the route through
Broken Hill means you wont have to drive through
Sydney and
Newcastle.
Check it out on Google Maps.
