    Thanks for the ideas girls.

    Jenni we're coming down the inland route - DH has a conference he has to speak at in Toowoomba on the Saturday, then we're coming down after that.

    theres heaps of awesome parks along that route that we always stopped at when we
    were going away.

    but i agree with all the others, games, snacks and stops

    I live in Tamworth, and have done the trip many times!!!

    There isn't any major towns, but a lot of little nice ones. Warrick and Tenterfeild are the two bigger ones, and we stop in those 2. Lots of parks etc.

    I find the two stops usually does us ok.

    Guyra (I think that's the one) has a nice big park right on the highway... lots of big trees... and I think even an old steam roller and park for the kids to play on... and importantly a good clean toilet facility!

    I have family that live in small towns around Tamworth... Also Armidale is a good place to stop. Take it easy down those Moonbi ranges

    Hmmm I have been to Glen Innes and thought it was lovely. The kids are very excited about the whole thing.

    The big park at Guyra, you drive right by it, and it is nice and big for a run ... about 2.5 hrs from Tamworth....

    Armidale is only 50 min out, so prob wouldn't stop there unless you had to...

    Gelnn Innes is about the middle between Guyra and Armidale, so if you miss one, stop in the other one!!!
