4. See

   Gunnedah Rural Museum

   If you're looking for an authentic history of Gunnedah, neatly laid out with information boards and item descriptions then you'll need to go somewhere else. If you are looking for large sheds just full of every bit of discarded equipment over the past 150 years of Gunnedah's history, then you could wander around this place for hours. It's large, it's disorganised, and in places looks more like a junkyard than a museum. There are collections of Coke cans and ANZAC cookies. Old cars, harvesters, tractors, diesel engines. Model railways, old switchboards, Teacups, furniture, photographs.
