A place proudly described as The Heart of Rural Heritage, Coolamon and the Shire’s smaller towns of Ardlethan, Beckom, Ganmain, Marrar and Matong exude history, character and charm.

Investigate the Shire’s villages and check out what these communities have to offer - lazy afternoon lunches and coffees, antique & gift stores, museums, craft outlets and boutique shopping, all in country village settings.

Start with a visit to Coolamon’s Up-to-Date Store, a heritage centre, where you will also find information about our towns and region. The Store is open 7 days a week and staffed by volunteers who are waiting to welcome you.

Other highlights are Coolamon’s RSL Museum, Ganmain’s Historical Museum and Ardlethan’s Heritage Walk. Coolamon Heritage Tours are loads of fun and another way that visitors can learn about the culture and history of the Shire is by touring the Coolamon Shire Heritage Track.

The best in country hospitality is available at the number of eateries, hotels and accommodation facilities throughout the Shire, and beautifully presented parks that feature BBQ facilities, public amenities and children’s playgrounds, provide ideal picnic or rest stops. Our caravan parks are just a stone’s throw from clubs and shopping and a short drive to our neighbours at Temora, Junee, Narrandera and Wagga.

Be sure to check out Ajanta Cafe and Up to date store. They are open Friday - Sunday and can be contacted on 0427 273 450.
