Overview

Gunnedah is a thriving township of 8,338 residents (2021 Census) set in the fertile Liverpool Plains, where 80 % of the shire is devoted to cotton, coal, beef, lamb, pork and grain farms. Its claim as the “Koala Capital of the World” and the proximity of native wildlife such as kangaroos and echidnas give the town a relaxed, nature‑focused lifestyle, while community events like the AgQuip field day and the annual Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Awards add cultural flair. A strong sporting culture is evident through the popular Gunnedah Bulldogs rugby league team and other local clubs.

Excellent transport links keep Gunnedah well connected: the Oxley and Kamilaroi Highways provide easy road access to Tamworth (75 km) and surrounding regions, and the Mungindi railway line offers a daily NSW TrainLink Xplorer service to Sydney and Moree. The town supports a mix of housing, from long‑term homes to rental properties that saw demand surge during the 2012 mining boom, and amenities that include three secondary schools, a TAFE campus, local newspapers and radio, plus nearby attractions such as Borethistles Hill and Waterways Wildlife Park.
