Coolamon, NSW is a charming town of the beautiful Riverina, with its heritage buildings and specialty shops. It’s peaceful here. Amble down its main street of Cowabbie with its Victorian characteristics and ornate architectural details, you’ll discover delightful nooks at every turn. Plenty of things to do here but start with the famous Cheese Co op or Devonshire tea at The Old Convent or any other excellent food and wine artisanal outlets.
There’s some great walks and numerous forest trails nearby, home to many bird species. See spectacular landscapes on scenic drives to surrounding countryside and nearby villages of Ganmain, Ardlethan, Marrar, Matong and Beckom along the Riverina Canola Trail.
Definitely worth the 5 hour drive from Sydney and 28min drive from Wagga Wagga.
