Pensioners Hill Heritage Sculptures are a striking reminder of chapters of Gunnedah’s history. Sculptures created by Carl Merten and Joan Relke and erected by the Rotary Club of Gunnedah West feature along the walkway to the top of this popular lookout. Here are the stories behind the stones:

The Miners Statue in Brock’s Court, Conadilly Street, was erected in memory of those fallen in the coal mines and as a reminder of underground strikes. Coal has been mined in the region for more than 130 years, and is part of the Gunnedah story.

Gunnedah Town Hall is an impressive building first opened in 1926. It includes a Soldiers’ Memorial Arch and a Memorial Clock Tower, which was added in 1937.

The clock faces are visible from many parts of town, and still chime the hour.

Gunnedah Town Hall is a centrepoint for the town and still hosts many of the Shire’s important celebrations and events.
