ABOUT Cunnamulla
Visit Cunnamulla, where the outback comes to life! Soak in rejuvenating artesian waters, explore breathtaking river landscapes, and enjoy incredible nature and birdwatching. Experience rich history, warm country hospitality, and adventure-filled days under endless blue skies. Whether you seek relaxation or exploration, Cunnamulla offers an unforgettable Outback escape.
You’ll know you’ve arrived when you spot the Cunnamulla Fella. This larger-than-life statue is a tribute to the Aussie larrikin stockman. Slim Dusty has had a hand in making the Cunnamulla Fella famous when he put the lyrics of Stan Coster to song. More recently the song has been performed by Lee Kernaghan.
Start your journey by soaking in the town’s new artesian hot springs complex or stay at Charlotte Plains, a historic sheep station where you can unwind in open-air baths filled with mineral-rich artesian water. Both offer a rejuvenating experience like no other. The therapeutic properties of these ancient waters make Cunnamulla an emerging wellness destination, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
Nature lovers and photographers will be captivated by the stunning landscapes that surround the town. The Warrego River provides a scenic backdrop for kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying a peaceful sunset. Birdwatchers will find a paradise here, with numerous birding spots including Bowra Sanctuary, we are home to over 200 bird species including the iconic Pink Cockatoo, flocking to the region’s waterways and bushland.
