Gunnedah Freight Services

Where the Kamilaroi and Oxley highways meet on the black-soil plains of the Namoi Valley, Gunnedah merges coal-services, grain-handling and regional trade freight into a single working commercial base for northwest NSW. QFM brings pallet, mine-services and trade loads inbound from every major Australian capital, routed primarily through Sydney and Tamworth.

Six hours northwest of Sydney via Tamworth on the New England Highway, Gunnedah is deep inside the Gunnedah Basin — Whitehaven, Idemitsu and Shenhua operations drive a steady stream of mine-services freight. The Namoi Valley grain and cotton harvest drives seasonal peaks across spring and summer. Regional on-forwarding extends to Curlewis, Breeza, Mullaley, Boggabri, Werris Creek and Narrabri.
