Coonamble was built on the Castlereagh River after the first land lease – Koonamble Run was established in1840. The river is known as the upside down river because most of the time the river runs under the sand, but when it rains it becomes the fastest flowing inland river in the state. The Coonamble Museum, historic graveyard, Coonamble Heritage Walk and the Nickname Hall of Fame, tell more of the history of the area. The township of 3000 people offers numerous activities/attractions for the visitor.
