The Heritage Highway route was formed in 1807 and originally took eight days to make the trip, however with modern technology (i.e. cars!), it only takes around 2.5 hours of driving, plus stop off time.
Along the way you will drive through the region famous super fine Merino wool. For the average backpacker though it does not have much to offer apart from towns that seem to be stuck in the past, many retaining several heritage-age buildings.
With a strong country town community feel to them the people are extra friendly and are very keen to show of the local produce. Often seen as a touring route for ‘older’ tourists, the sense of history and community in towns such as Evandale and Ross can be very appealing.
