Coonamble

9,629 km²

Coonamble has remained a steady rural centre in New South Wales over the last decade. It is a place where First Nations people make up a significant part of the community. Life here is quieter and more spread out than in the state's larger towns. Most residents live in a landscape that is very flat, which makes getting around on foot easier for many, though few have a wide range of shops and services within a short walk.
