Gunnedah is a town situated within the Liverpool Plains, in north-eastern New South Wales, Australia.
Gunnedah and the surrounding areas were originally inhabited by Aboriginal Australians speaking the Kamilaroi (Gamilaraay) language. The name of the town in Kamilaroi means
Place of White Stones. The area now occupied by the town was settled by European sheep farmers in 1833 or 1834. With settlement in the area focused on wool production,
Gunnedah was initially known as
The Woolshed until taking its name from the local Indigenous people who called themselves the
Gunn-e-darr, the most famous of whom was
Cumbo Gunnerah.
Dorothea Mackellar wrote her famous poem
My Country (popularly known as
I Love a Sunburnt Country) about her family's farm near
Gunnedah. This is remembered by the annual
Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Awards for school students held in
Gunnedah. The town is the home town of supermodels
Miranda Kerr and
Erica Packer.
