About COONABARABRAN

Coonabarabran is a town in Warrumbungle Shire in northwestern New South Wales, Australia. At the 2001 census, the town had a population of 2,736.

The township is located on the Newell Highway and the Oxley Highway, approximately halfway between Melbourne and Brisbane and can be reached in about six hours by car from Sydney. There are numerous motels, hotels, and caravan parks for travellers and a good meal can be found at one of the many restaurants in the main street.

Coonabarabran is the gateway to the Warrumbungle National Park and the Pilliga Forest. The Warrumbungles, a range of mountains in Central Western NSW, is one of the most popular National Parks in the state and has numerous walking tracks for the visitor. An annual Warrumbungle Festival is held in October, with particular emphasis on astronomy, the arts and Aboriginal heritage of the area as well as many musical festivals throughout the year.

There are two Observatories in the Coonabarabran area, Skywatch Night & Day Observatory and the Siding Springs Observatory. Siding Spring Observatory is operated by the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics of the Australian National University. The site hosts the largest optical telescope in Australia, the 3.9 m Anglo-Australian Telescope. There are a total of 12 telescopes currently on Siding Spring, with a 13th currently being built. This is the Skymapper Survey Telesope of the ANU. Siding Spring is also home to the Uppsala Telescope where Dr Rob McNaught discovered his now famous daylight comet.
