Upcoming Events in Gunnedah

Welcome to Gunnedah! With rich agricultural vistas and breath taking landscapes, Gunnedah is the hub of Australia's richest agricultural regions - the Liverpool Plains. The hustle and bustle of Australia's biggest live cattle auctions on Tuesday mornings at the sale yards is a sight to see! While the drought sadly has diminished the koala population, the cuddly local icons can still be spotted, and you just need to look harder whilst discovering all the other attractions. Museums illustrate the region's past, memorials reminding us of local heroes and galleries and public art displaying the great artistic talents of the area. Poetry is scattered throughout the town, a homage to Dorothea Mackellar, of "My Country" fame. A variety of annual events and community celebrations occur throughout the year: Australia Day Celebrations, AgQuip Field Days, Weeks of Speed, Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Awards, Gunnedah Show, Bird Expo and Sale, North West Swap Meet, equine and sporting events, monthly country markets and Championship Dog Shows, each one of them worthy of making your stay a memorable one.

It is also recommended to grab yourself a picnic or some take-away and set up at one of the great lookouts or parks - can't beat food with a view!
