A Riverina town with stories
Cootamundra is a Riverina town with agricultural and railway history. The official Cootamundra destination guide (opens in a new tab) provides a useful starting point for the town and its regional setting.
Begin at the visitor and heritage centre
The Cootamundra Visitor Information Centre and Heritage Centre (opens in a new tab) is a useful first stop for maps, current local advice and a grounding in the town’s railway and community history.
Approach Country and history with care
Cootamundra is on Wiradjuri Country. The town is also connected to the difficult history of the Cootamundra Aboriginal Girls’ Home. Read and listen with care, and seek information from appropriate custodians and institutions rather than treating living culture or painful history as a visitor experience.
