Coonamble is a rural town located in the central-northern region of New South Wales, Australia, situated on the Castlereagh River. The town's name is derived from the Aboriginal word "gunambil," meaning "bullock dung," referring to the area's historical connection to cattle farming. Originally established in the 1850s as a crossing point over the river, Coonamble has developed into an important agricultural center, particularly known for its sheep and wheat farming.

The town reflects the cultural heritage of both its Indigenous past and European settlement, with various historical buildings still standing along the main street. The local Aboriginal people, the Weilwan and Gamilaroi peoples, maintain strong connections to the area. Coonamble's cultural life is enriched by regular community events, including the annual Coonamble Rodeo and Campdraft, which celebrates the region's strong connection to rural traditions and horse sports. The town also serves as a gateway to the Warrumbungle National Park, combining its agricultural heritage with opportunities for cultural and natural experiences.
