Car Rental Gunnedah - Cheap Discount Car Hire - Special Deals and Offers.
Poet
Dorothea Mackellar, whose life-sized statue commands Anzac Park,
might have enshrined the Gunnedah landscape on the Australian psyche
with the immortal line 'I love a sunburnt country,' but it is the
cute koala which endears the town to conservationists.
A
prosperous town on the Namoi River in the state's north-west,
Gunnedah, in fact, is blessed with the one of the largest and
healthiest koala populations west of the Great Divide. The animals
live in unusual harmony with the town folk. In you fancy a broader
native canvas, visit the Waterways Wild Park where the koalas mingle
with kangaroos, emus and other Oz animals. Gunnedah is within
comfortable day-tripping distance of the Warrumbungle, Kaputar,
Coolah Tops and Lake Keepit parks and Tamworth. Anzac Park hosts not
only the statue of Mackellar, who spent more than 30 years on a
local property where she wrote her most famous poem, My Country, but
the Water Tower Museum.
The
museum houses a collection of photographs and regional memorabilia,
while a spiral staircase takes you to the observation deck which
presents sweeping views of the town.
