Gilgandra guide: Coo-ee history and the Windmill Walk

Gilgandra sits on the Great Western Plains, where local history and an easy riverside walk give a road-trip stop real texture.

Begin at the Coo-ee Heritage Centre

The Coo-ee Heritage and Visitor Information Centre (opens in a new tab) is a practical first stop for regional ideas and the town’s 1915 Coo-ee March story.

Walk into town

Gilgandra Shire Council’s visitor-centre information (opens in a new tab) suggests the Windmill Walk as a route between the centre and CBD.

The town’s local history (opens in a new tab) records its windmill legacy and the Coo-ee March. For a broader itinerary, use the official Destination NSW guide (opens in a new tab).
