Sightseeing

Coolamon is a small wheat-belt town with broad streets and verandas along the main street. It is known as the 'hay and chaff' capital. It is major producer of wheat and chaff and is noted for the quality of its fat lambs. The traditional sheaf haystacks which dot the countryside are an impressive sight. An unusual feature of the flat, clay countryside are the thousands of indentations in the ground which fill with water. They are named "Coolamon Holes", a name after an Aboriginal word for a hollow wooden storage vessel. The main attractions of the town are historic: the Up-to-Date Store Cultural Precinct and the Kindra State Forest, an ideal birdwatching location. In nearby Ganmain there is a very unusual Hall of Conciliation built out of hay bales. Location Coolamon is located 471 km south-west of Sydney via the Hume Highway and the towns of Cootamunda and Junee. It is 42 km north of Wagga Wagga and 251 metres above sea level. The tiny town of Ganmain is 15 km to the west. ^ TOP Origin of Name The Coolamon district was traditionally occupied by Wiradjuri Aborigines and it is from their word "coolamon", meaning water basin or water dish, that the town gets its name. The area around Coolamon has a large number of natural indentations which hold water and consequently when the first European settler in the district, J. Atkinson, established his property, he named it 'Coleman'. The local railway station which opened in 1881 was named Coleman which changed to Coolamon in 1895. ^ TOP Things to See and Do Up-To-Date Store Cultural and Learning Precinct Located at 127-129 Cowabbie Street, the Up-To-Date Store Cultural and Learning Precinct is a beautifully preserved General Store which was established in 1907. The building was completed in 1909. For most of its life it was a typical general store providing locals with every imaginable item. The Coolamon Shire Council has created a building which combines a library, two museums, a cafe and a visitor information service all built around a retail experience that no longer exists. It's a space of historical significance which includes a fully functioning Lamson Cash Railway Machine (the only known ball-style cash railway system in the world that is still in its original location), and the 'Mavis Furner Collection' (a collection of over 200 crocheted garments and accessories). Included in the museum experience is the collection of Garth Jones farm machinery - a rare collection in pristine condition. The collection highlights the intimate link the region and the Store had with the development of agriculture. Also in the collection is Reg Godde's Vintage Farm Machinery and Miniature Working Models, a labour of love which has been brought into town.
