Gunnedah is an exciting place to visit.
A special town tour has been designed to allow the visitor a chance to see
all the attractions of the township. The tour commences at the Visitor Information
Centre (located on the Oxley Highway just across the railway overpass and
on the right - located opposite the swimming complex and next to the Gunnedah
Museum) where a detailed brochure on exactly where the tour goes is available.
Take your time on the drive to appreciate all the aspects of Gunnedah. There
is a total of 36 signs for the tour. 
Many visitors to Gunnedah will want to take the time to visit one of the earliest
major water storage dams in Australia. Keepit Dam lies just 30Kms to the east
of Gunnedah on the Oxley Highway. In addition to the Dam itself, the recreational
features are worth the visit with sailing, boating, water sports and fishing
just some of the attractions of Lake Keepit.
The Watertower Museum is a fine example of using a feature no longer required.
This former town water storage facility has been effectively refurbished to
house the historical records of the district. Visitors should also take time
to visit the Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Centre and the Cumbo Gunnerah
Gallery.
The month of August sees the town grow considerably in population as the Ag
Quip Agricultural Field Days are run. This 3 day event brings millions of
dollars worth of agricultural equipment and services to the town for display
to the entire nation.
Gunnedah is also renowned for its wild life and a large Koala population inhabits
the area.
Many nature walks can be found around the town and the district which are
a must for those wanting to see some of Australia's unique native life.
