GILGANDRA COO-EE HERITAGE CENTRE

Public BBQ

The Gilgandra Coo-ee Heritage Centre proves that the best discoveries often hide in plain sight along Australia's highways. This riverside gem combines historical significance with practical comfort, making it an ideal stop for weary travellers on the Newell Highway. The centrepiece memorial centre, rebuilt after COVID delays and opened in October 2022, houses a compelling gallery dedicated to the historic Coo-ee March - a fascinating slice of Australian WWI history that deserves more than a quick glance. The facilities here show genuine consideration for visitors: shaded picnic tables, spotless toilets, and ample parking that accommodates everything from small cars to touring rigs. A pleasant riverside walk reveals charming windmills, while the information centre doubles as an engaging museum worth every coin of the gold coin donation.
