The Gunnedah Lifestyle.

"I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of drought and flooding rains." - Dorothea Mackellar, I Love a Sunburnt Country

Dubbed the Koala Capital, Gunnedah in the North East NSW is one of Australia’s most stunning regional cities. Known for iconic Aussie wildlife, experience the rich history and produce that Gunnedah has to offer.

Whimsical Wilderness

Gunnedah boasts an abundance of native wildlife, including kangaroos, echidnas and of course Koalas! Koalas can often be found in trees within the town, as well as in the surrounding countryside.

The Koala Capital

The name Gunnedah is derived from the Kamilaroi nation word meaning 'place of many white stones', which refers to the quartz pebbles and outcrops in the area that are visible from the top of Porcupine Lookout.
