The Red Chief Memorial (Kambu Gunirah) is located close to the CBD in Abbott Street in front of the NSW Government offices. It commemorates the burial place of Kamilaroi warrior Cumbo Gunnerah – the Red Chief. In 1984, a memorial sculpture designed by Dennis Adams in consultation with local First Nations peoples and the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, was erected to mark the burial site. It is believed to be the first memorial established in honour of an Aboriginal historical identity.
