Open all weekend.

Coonamble has its share of abbreviated surnames but in these parts, the tradition of bestowing nicknames has surpassed a conversational convenience and become an artform. Even local landmarks, buildings and businesses are known by names other than those their owners gave them. 

Coonamble is the Nickname Hall of Fame. Take a stroll around the streets of Coonamble’s CBD to see the ‘larger than life’ caricatures on billboards mounted on shop walls and get to know some of our stories. Or stay for a while and get to know us. Join us in celebrating our unique local and national heritage.
