Mungindi Railway Line, New South Wales
The Mungindi railway line is a railway line in northern New South Wales, Australia. It branches from the Main North line at Werris Creek station and heads north-west through the towns of Gunnedah and Narrabri before reaching Moree which for many years was the railhead before the extension to Mungindi was constructed. The line is currently truncated to Weemelah between Moree and Mungindi. Passenger trains still operate to Moree, and goods trains (mainly wheat) operate to Camurra.

Binnaway – Werris Creek Railway Line
Binnaway is a small town located on the Castlereagh River in central western New South Wales near the larger centre of Coonabarabran, which is about 35 kilometres to the north. In 2016, the town had a population of 425 people. The road linking these two towns closely follows the meandering Castlereagh River. There are many pleasant areas to stop beside the road and on the river banks to have a picnic. Binnaway is also located near the similarly sized small town of Mendooran. Following local government amalgamation, the town is now located in the Warrumbungle Shire Council area which is headquartered at Coonabarabran. History The name Binnaway may derive from the Aboriginal word 'binniaway' meaning 'peppermint tree wollybutt'. The township of Binnaway stands on part of the 'Mowabla' pastoral run of 16 thousand acres, taken up in 1848 by William Lawson. In the early 1850s the leasehold was purchased by David Innes Watt.
