Coonabarabran trip planner

Surrounded by lovely, largely unpopulated countryside, Coonabarabran is notable for the number of small churches in the area. The 3,000 residents of Coonabarabran make their home between the slopes of the central west and northwest of New South Wales. Locals don't agree on the origin of their town's name, however. Many say it's a reference to someone's name or an Aboriginal word meaning "inquisitive person." However, some residents vouch say it's derived from the Kamilaroi language word for "excrement" or "peculiar odor." However, this reveals more about the good-humored people that live there than the town's actual smell.
