Coonabarabran is a town in the Warrumbungle Shire of New South Wales, Australia. Known as the 'Astronomy Capital of Australia', it is situated near the Warrumbungle National Park and is home to the Siding Spring Observatory, Australia's largest optical telescope facility. The town serves as a gateway to the ancient Warrumbungle Mountains, formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago.
The local indigenous Gamilaraay people have a long connection to this area, and their cultural heritage is reflected in the town's name, which is believed to mean 'inquisitive person' in their language. The region's clear skies and minimal light pollution make it an ideal location for astronomical observation, contributing to its scientific significance. Besides its astronomical importance, Coonabarabran has developed as a regional center with a rich cultural heritage that blends Aboriginal history, pastoral development, and modern scientific research.
