After 41 km, it reaches the city Waracknabeal where it crosses the Henty Highway ( B200). He then continues on its way to the east and reaches the Litchfield Sunraysia Highway ( B220 ).

He turns to the east- northeast and leads to Charlton on the Avoca River, where he reached the Calder Highway ( A79 ) and ends.
