Coonamble is located in the central west slopes of New South Wales, 418 kilometres north-west of Sydney. The shire has produced a successful agricultural industry including broadacre farming and cattle grazing. With the Warrumbungle National Park, Macquarie Marshes and Pilliga State Forest nearby, Coonamble is the perfect base to explore the surrounding natural beauty of the region.

The town’s main street offers a glimpse into the art deco era, with some of the buildings retaining this style. Coonamble’s history can also be observed at the Museum Under the Bridge, originally built as the police station in 1886. The ‘trooper’ brick horse stables have been preserved in their original form and are one of only two remaining in New South Wales.

Coonamble offers a choice of three places to park at no charge for up to 96 hours – the Coonamble Showground and the Back Combara Road campsite. Potable water can be obtained at the showground, while a dump point is accessible on Castlereagh Street.
