    About Coonamble

    Coonamble is a historic country town, home to the largest combined rodeo and camp draft in the southern hemisphere. It is located 160 km north of Dubbo, between Warrumbungle National Park and the Macquarie Marshes. In the town's main street, you'll find examples of art deco architecture as well as walls adorned with portraits of local identities.

    Coonamble is a great base from which to explore the natural attractions nearby. Search for birds in the lush wetlands of the Macquarie Marshes and make sure you spend some time exploring the forested ridges, barren spires and deep gorges of Warrumbungle National Park, a 45-minute drive east of town.
