CUNNAMULLA Cunnamulla is, when traveling east the last truly outback town. Some 250k to Bourke, 260k to St George, 200k north to Charleville and 200k west to Thargomindah. Cunnamulla is Queensland’s most isolated community/town. That said, Cunnamulla has all the key services. But there is also a negative edge to what is a proud community. Major industries of the area are wool, pig and kangaroo hunting, and hospitality industry. The town itself came into being in the late 1800s as a coach stop for Cobb and Co coaches. It has also been stated that the very first interstate game of Rugby League (between New South Wales and Queensland) was played between Cunnamulla and Bourke. Cunnamulla used to be a pub town, but over recent years three traditional hotels have closed. The surviving hotels are mix of the modern and classic. The Catholic Church is an enigma. The Anglican being a modern design. There was no evidence of other denominations. The Cunnamulla War Memorial is being upgraded, but still lacks the stuff of recognition. The Museum opens each day but with restricted hours on Sat and Sun. Something is missing with Cunnamulla. The place just does not seem to grab you. The town needs its thing. And that is not here at the moment. Cunnamulla deserves a look over, but there is nothing compelling or inviting to stay overnight. We wish we could put our finger on the negative vibe. Heritage diary
