Coolah Tops

Set amidst gently rolling hills, Coolah is a charming country town home to some of NSW finest cattle, lamb, wool and crop producing areas.

 

Coolah boasts many natural attractions to tempt sightseers. Located 30km east of Coolah, the beautiful and dramatic Coolah Tops National Park is one of Central NSW best kept secrets. Rich in wildlife, you can bushwalk amongst tall eucalypt forests and lofty snowgums, take in spectacular panoramic views sweeping the Liverpool Plains and admire cascading waterfalls after rain.

A highlight of Coolah Tops is an amazingly large cluster of towering grasstrees, some of which are estimated to be up to 300 years old! Visitors can walk amidst these giants on a 2 km walking trail, which is suitable for all ages.

 

 

 

Heard of the Australian expression ‘Beyond the black stump?’ Coolah is the original location from where the phrase was coined. You’ll find a roadside rest area featuring a black stump on the Gunnedah road, just outside of town. The Grave of King Togee, a noted Aboriginal is also an interesting attraction as is the local Nursery Rhyme Village and Camel Farm.

 

In the pretty township of Coolah, you can sit back with a cuppa and relax in a cosy café, browse the local handicrafts or and have a yarn with the locals in one of the classic country pubs. Accommodation options include grand bed & breakfasts, friendly farmstays, a comfortable motel and an excellent caravan park.

Coolah also hosts great range of events including ‘Jazz in the Tops’, a lively music festival held in Coolah Tops National Park each year. The Coolah region really is a great place to enjoy an extended stay in the heart of country NSW.
