About Gunnedah
Gunnedah serves the Liverpool Plains farming community about 450 kilometres northwest of Sydney. This regional town of roughly 10,400 residents is known for its koala population and agricultural heritage. The surrounding black soil plains produce some of Australia's best crops, supporting a community grounded in farming.
The koalas are genuine - wild populations live in the trees around town, drawing nature tourists. But beyond the wildlife, Gunnedah functions as a practical country town serving farming families. The community is friendly and welcoming, with country hospitality that doesn't need to try. Agricultural prosperity brings stability, while the koalas bring an unexpected gentle touch to everyday life.
Gunnedah falls under postcode 2380 and is governed by Gunnedah Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Tamworth electorate.
