Interesting facts about Coonabarabran

Coonabarabran is a small town in the North-Western state of New South Wales, Australia. Despite its small size, the town is full of interesting facts and history.

1. Coonabarabran is known as the "Astronomy Capital of Australia" due to the high number of astronomical observatories and facilities located in the surrounding area. One of the most famous of these observatories is the Siding Spring Observatory, which is home to several large telescopes and hosts astronomy tours for the public.

2. The town is located in the Warrumbungle Shire and is surrounded by the stunning Warrumbungle National Park, which boasts a range of hiking trails, camping grounds, and stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

3. Coonabarabran has a rich Aboriginal history, and the town's name is derived from the Gamilaroi word "gunbaraaybaa" which means "excrement of the bora ground". The Gamilaroi people are the traditional custodians of the land on which Coonabarabran sits.

4. The town has a long history of farming, with agriculture being the main source of income for many of the residents. Coonabarabran is particularly well-known for its wheat farms, with the town playing a major role in the Australian wheat industry.

5. Coonabarabran is also home to the Australian Museum Diprotodon Exhibition, which features the remains of a giant prehistoric mammal that lived in Australia around 2 million years ago. The Diprotodon was a herbivore that grew to be as large as a hippopotamus and weighed up to 3,500 kilograms.

6. The town hosts an annual event known as the Coonabarabran Agricultural Show, where locals and visitors can enjoy a range of agricultural displays, live music, and carnival rides.

8. In 2013, Coonabarabran was devastated by a major bushfire that destroyed over 50 homes and caused widespread damage. The town and its residents have since rallied together to rebuild and recover, showing the true spirit of Australian resilience and community spirit.
