    About Gilgandra

    Gilgandra is a riverside oasis in a vast agricultural landscape. This Dubbo town has a fascinating history that's captured at the Gilgandra Coo-ee Heritage museum. In 1915, 26 men set out from Gilgandra to Sydney on the first recruiting march of World War I. Along the way they called 'Coo-ee' at each town they passed, and the much publicised event encouraged many men to join them. Six weeks after they started out, they reached Sydney with 263 men willing to join the forces.

    Learn more about the Coo-ee March, local pioneer history and Aboriginal heritage at the Coo-ee Heritage Centre and Visitor Centre. Warrumbungle National Park is just 80 km north-west of Gilgandra.
