COLEAMBALLY
Coleambally (56kms north of Jerilderie) in the Murrumbidgee Shire was established in 1968.
Beautiful gardens are watered from groundwater bores. The streets in the area are named after local birds.
Irrigation farmland produces rice, maize, soybeans, wheat, barley, canola, oats, grapes , prunes and almonds.
Sheep and cattle are major agricultural assets with Organic farms becoming popular.
Coleambally has a very good playground area for children, toilet facilities and a BBQ area for the travelling public.
A modern shopping centre caters for all the local and visitors needs and wants.
There is a mural in the Jenimar Arcade reflecting the town’s history.
A “Wine shaped” water tower with a mosaic depicting the history of the local irrigation area is quite different.
Campers are catered for at the local caravan park having all the amenities. Travellers requiring extra accommodation are catered for by the Hotel – Motel which is opposite the shopping centre being very convenient.
There was no Bed and Breakfast or Farm stay accommodation when we visited.
The “Bird in the Mulga” Art Gallery and Collectables is well worth a look.
