Overview

Gunnedah is a thriving town of 8,338 people (2021 census) set on the fertile Liverpool Plains of north‑central New South Wales. Surrounded by 80 % farmland, it produces cotton, coal, beef, lamb, pork and grain, and hosts AgQuip, the nation’s largest agricultural field day. Residents enjoy easy access to native wildlife – notably the state’s largest koala colony west of the Great Dividing Range – and a strong sporting culture anchored by the Gunnedah Bulldogs rugby league team and other local clubs. Education is well covered with three secondary schools, several primary schools and a New England Institute of TAFE campus.

The town sits on the Oxley and Kamilaroi Highways, linking it to Tamworth (75 km east) and further north‑west destinations, while the Mungindi railway line provides a daily NSW TrainLink Xplorer service to Sydney and Moree. Housing ranges from family‑size homes to rental properties that surged during the 2012 mining boom, with some leases reaching $1,350 per week. Heritage sites such as the historic railway station and former leather processors add a sense of character to the community.
