Moonbi Range
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Moonbi Range is a chain of hills which forms a part of the New England highlands, in northern New South Wales, Australia.
The Moonbi Range is located roughly 20 kilometres north and east of the city of Tamworth, and forms a spur of the Great Dividing Range. The Moonbi Range generally forms the divide between the drainage basins of the Cockburn River to the south, and the Macdonald River to the north, which are both themselves tributaries of the Namoi River. The higher parts of the area often receive a snowfall in the winter, and the most well known mountain is called Black Jack.
To the road traveller on the New England Highway, the Moonbi Range is notable as it is a major uphill climb on the highway as the motorist ascends from the Liverpool Plains around Tamworth to the granite plateaus of the New England tablelands.
The village of Moonbi is located at the foot of the mountains.
The Moonbi Park lookout situated in a high area just off the New England Highway roughly 25km north of Tamworth, New South Wales, offers a spectacular view of the areas south of the mountain.
