Armidale to Narrabri Backroad Adventure: Highlights, Stops, & Camping Spots

[@petercross8620]

Thank you for a great video. I drove a truck from Narrabri to Bingara once a month for many years. Back then it was mostly dirt once I crossed the mountain. It was one of my favorite roads to drive, beautiful country.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, I do remember when much of that road was dirt… used to drive on a corrugated track from Narrabri to Sawn Rocks back in the day. It’s a beautiful drive now.

Welcome aboard! Thanks for subscribing. Glad you are enjoying the videos. We hope you will love our adventure which we’ve just started filming (road tripping the American West).

A very interesting and informative video of our favourite part of the country,thank you.We will be travelling through there early next year and will definitely use this video as our guide.We look forward to seeing more of your videos as we make preparations for our trip.👍

Our pleasure! We are embarking on a long awaited bucket list adventure to the American West for the remainder of the year. But we will be back in our New England North West neck of the woods next year. I hope you enjoy our upcoming adventure in the US, but for other videos on the New England region, keep flicking through our channel for what we’ve done so far. Thanks for watching. Appreciate your comments and support.

I was born in Inverell and now live in Armidale, so it’s fun when I see my area highlighted. Mum was the one to first come across your channel a few weeks ago and now we’re both subscribed and following along on your adventures. Safe travels 👋🏼✈️

Great documentary. We really appreciate your videos. The text on screen good too. Thank you.

[@MinutesWithMates]

So nice of you! Thank you so much. Your comment is really appreciated.

We took that route once. As you say, it's a very scenic drive through great country. Our problem was that we live in Sydney and this journey meant an overnight stay at either Armidale or Tamworth - the journey was too long for a comfortable day trip.

[@MinutesWithMates]

Yes in that scenario, it may well be. For those of us who live in either Narrabri or Armidale, it’s a very comfortable day trip. Many people take this route with their campers or caravans, as they are spending more time cruising around. So it certainly does work well for many people who are in the area or who want to take this route with their campers. It’s actually a very common thing to do and we always see a lot of campers and caravans on this route. 😊

[@doubledee9675]

@@MinutesWithMates I'm not surprised, as it's great country to drive through. If you're not wanting through to Sydney in a one-day journey, it would be well worth taking this alternative..

Amazing cinematography and grading. What cameras and LUTS are you using?

[@MinutesWithMates]

Thank you. That’s lovely. Our cameras on this episode were a Sony A7Siii with the PP8 picture profile. The drone is a DJI mini 3 pro on the D-Log picture profile. I’m using Cinematch to convert the Sony and DJi (drone) profiles to Arii and then Film Convert Nitrate. And the final adjustment is done with a self made LUT based on the Outlander series.

[@skinnywater9264]

Nicely done, a beautiful image. Keep up the good work! I Can't wait to watch your next video.

[@MinutesWithMates]

@@skinnywater9264thank you. We are currently filming for our new adventure (an epic road trip in the American West). Due to time constraints and limited access to internet at times, the first episode should come out in late June hopefully. I hope you’ll love this series. We will be returning to Australia when we are done but we have so much to do and share before then.
