Welcome to Bundarra

Bundarra is a close-knit rural community, 582 km north of Sydney and 378 km south-west of Brisbane, on the road between Armidale (88 km to the south-east) Uralla (76 km to the south east) and Inverell (47 km to the north) and is 660 m above sea-level. Bundarra acts as a service-centre for the surrounding district and, as our welcome sign says, we love our kids!

Bundarra takes its name from the Gamilaraay/Yuwaalaraay word bandaarr (grey kangaroo) (Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay Dictionary). Kangaroos were an important food source for the traditional custodians of the area. The Anaiwan and Kamilaroi are thought to have been the predominant traditional custodians of the area.

Bundarra, for its size, boasts more services than many small towns.

We have combined Post Office and Commonwealth Bank Agency, an Agricultural Supplies Store, and a hotel a Sporting Club and Golf Course, Rural Transaction Centre (with Centrelink access), Community Technology Centre, a General Store/Liquor/Newsagency/Gift shop and a takeaway store that’s open 7 days a week, Community Health Facilities a garage that services the town with rego checks etc..

There are many good fishing spots along the Gwydir River if you know the locals! (It is still a spot where you can catch some really big Murray cod) Bundarra also has a two camping grounds: one with powered sites and hot shower facilities, and beautiful free site on the edge of town (right on the river) for those who like to watch platypus in their native habitat and happy to rough it . There is also Kalang Camping area a little further up the road towards Inverell with riverside camping and great fishing.
