Gunnedah

Gunnedah is a large service town with a population of 9,726 (2016) in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia. It has everything for the traveller passing through, with a couple of supermarkets, a choice of pubs and bistros, an upmarket restaurant or two, and a few great parks to stretch your legs. There is plenty of accommodation, and a few additional attractions in case you want to stretch your break for a day or two. It's a six block town, with one (somewhat unnecessary) single traffic light.

    Walk along the Namoi

    The Namoi is the river immediately to the north of the town. The town turns its back on the river, because of its temperamental flows, but it's certainly worth a short visit. Wildlife and birds are attracted the river. And when not in flood it's possible to walk across. But you'll have to pick your photos carefully to avoid a few discarded car tyres and empty shopping trolleys that ruin the aspect. You can camp by the river too.
