Cunnamulla

Cunnamulla and where the handshake's stronger and the smile lasts longer! Follow the Matilda Highway or Adventure Way right into the heart of Cunnamulla, where you will be greeted by a colourful showing of roses, petunias and a lush green park. Cunnamulla offers a break from the hectic pace of everyday life. After your long trip, take the time to enjoy the slower pace of the Outback. Cunnamulla is the name everyone has heard and it conjures up nostalgic images of stockmen, shearing and days when everyone had time for a yarn. In pride of place in the town centre is a bronze statute of the ﾑCunnamulla Fella' immortalising the larrikin in all Australians, he sits on his swag enjoying the moment. The Heritage Trail will give you a glimpse of earlier times. There are walking trails along the river bank and through the Cunnamulla bushlands. Collect a map, bird list and plant list from the Cunnamulla Fella Centre. While you are at the Centre take a look through the art gallery and interpretive displays of local history, opal mining, wool, native vegetation and the Great Artesian Basin. Outback Holidays are all about meeting the locals! There are many events you can enjoy from Social bowls and tennis to the Cunnamulla Fella Festival. The Festival is held each year in November and includes country music and the excitement of a professional bullride. You don't have to be born here to be a Cunnamulla Fella and you just have to enjoy being here!
