Tourist Drive 17 is a scenic route around Armidale’s New England Tablelands—ideal for layered countryside, tree-lined roads, and lookout-style compositions. Visit early morning or late afternoon for soft, directional light; weekdays reduce traffic. No entry fees, but pull-offs vary—plan parking before dusk and carry water. Lighting changes fast with hill terrain.
