If you're looking for an authentic history of Gunnedah, neatly laid out with information boards and item descriptions then you'll need to go somewhere else. If you are looking for large sheds just full of every bit of discarded equipment over the past 150 years of Gunnedah's history, then you could wander around this place for hours. It's large, it's disorganised, and in places looks more like a junkyard than a museum. There are collections of Coke cans and ANZAC cookies. Old cars, harvesters, tractors, diesel engines. Model railways, old switchboards, Teacups, furniture, photographs.
Wide open views of Gunnedah and the surrounding district. Sculptures (see here), a rotunda, picnic tables, and barbecues at the top. Unknown if the path from the entrance to the top is wheelchair accessible.
An 18-hole par-70 golf course.
Dorothea Mackellar and part of her famous poem "My Country" are displayed on this 29-m-high, privately-owned maize mill. Best viewed from the walkway around the corner on the bridge that links the Oxley Highway and Warrabungle Street. It is on private property, and closer access is not permitted. Be mindful of vehicles entering and leaving the maize mill and do not block the driveway.
