Thunderbolts Way (and at its northern end as Bundarra Road) is a 305-kilometre (190 mi)[1] country road located in the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia, linking Inverell via Bundarra, Uralla and Walcha to Gloucester[4][5] The road is sealed and passes through thickly forested mountain areas with many nearby national parks and nature reserves.
It is named after a local bushranger, Frederick Ward, alias Captain Thunderbolt, who roamed these parts in the 19th century.
