Gunnedah is the hub of one of Australia's richest agricultural regions - the Liverpool Plains in North West New South Wales - and is located on the Kamilaroi and Oxley Highways. Gunnedah has a great variety of shopping, dining and entertainment venues. Residents and visitors will appreciate the variety of great cuisine that the local restaurants, pubs, clubs and takeaway venues have to offer.

You will marvel at the beauty of the district and enjoy the hospitality and comfort that only the local people can offer. Genuine smiles and the natural beauty of the landscape paint a picture of real country Australia. It is little wonder that this beautiful area inspired Dorothea Mackellar - author of "My Country", to write some of her amazing poetry and prose.

Held during March each year, the Weeks of Speed Festival is a unique programme of heart-thumping speed-related activities that is great family friendly entertainment. The Weeks of Speed Festival is a major event in the Shire's social calendar and will be officially launched on Saturday March 18, at the Show and Shine event to be held in the Woolworths Carpark.
