Coolah Beyond the Black Stump
Coolah is a town in the central western part of New South Wales, Australia in Warrumbungle Shire. At the 2006 census, Coolah had a population of 910.
On the northeastern side of the area is the Liverpool Range with the Coolah Tops National Park. Most of the region is agricultural with sheep and cattle raising and crops grown along the Talbragar River and Coolaburragundy River valleys.
The Coolah area was first settled by pastoralists around 1840. Coolah Post Office opened on 1 January 1849. The town was served by a branch railway from March 1920 until May 1975.[3]
Cadbury Schweppes introduced a citrus-flavored energy drink in the US in 2006 named Coolah Energy. The text on the packaging for this product refers to the Australian Cadbury Schweppes product Solo as its inspiration, along with the lifestyle of the inhabitants of the town of Coolah.
Coolah is the location of the first Australian memorial commemorating The Battle of Long Tan. A total of 18 trees were planted along Coolah's Vietnam Memorial Avenue, one for each Australian soldier killed during the battle.
Coolah is a village in Australia where everyone's got a little more energy. They paint. Play rugby. Sing. Throw darts. Dance. And they drink Solo, the beverage with a lemon tang that was the inspiration for Coolah Energy. We added Australian Boronia, Taurine and B-Vitamins to make this one bonzer drink. So pop the top and give it a bash! Welcome to the land of Coolah and enjoy our man-juice.

Let's Visit Bonalbo, NSW with Moz #moz42 #bonalbo #workingdogtrial
Bonalbo
Bonalbo and Old Bonalbo are two small rural towns on the NSW Northern Tablelands, located 815 kilometres (506 mi) north-east of Sydney. Their appeal lies in their unspoilt bushland surroundings in the Upper Clarence River Valley.
Bonalbo is a very pretty little town, being is a service centre for the surrounding beef cattle, hardwood timber, soybean and olive growers and farmers.
The village has a hospital, ambulance station, chemist, supermarket, a Newsagency & service station, a pub with motel rooms, a bowling and recreation club featuring a challenging nine-hole golf course and tennis courts.
The town's name derives from the Gidabal word bunawalbu meaning bloodwood trees.
The district is an ideal spot for fishing, swimming, canoeing, birdwatching, camping and boasts some challenging roads for the motorcycle enthusiast.
Bonalbo is the birthplace of working dog trials, using cattle, at the 1950 Bonalbo Show. It also pays tribute to the role played by working dogs in rural life - both as workers and mates. The statue stands in the RSL Memorial rose park in the centre of the village.
A bronze statue of a working dog was unveiled in April 2017. This statue was funded by community contributions and donations from business and government.
The Old Bank B n B
To the best of my knowledge, the bank was built and opened in 1932 as the Bank of NSW, the ownership changed several times over the years and subsequently closed in 1987. Prior to the establishment of a bank, a Gold Exchange existed servicing miners in the area.
There had been other banks in the town which were lost in 1957 when fire consumed several businesses in town.
Today, extensive renovation has been undertaken to establish the Old Bank as a Bed and Breakfast accommodation.
The Black Stump
The Australian expression 'black stump' is the name for an imaginary point beyond which the country is considered remote, an abstract marker of the limits of established settlement. The origin of the expression, especially in its evolved use as an imaginary marker in the landscape, is contested.
At least three regional Australian towns claim the expression originated in their general vicinity. These include: Coolah NSW, Merriwagga / Gunbar NSW and Blackall, QLD.

Beyond the Black Stump (2017 painting performance)
Collaborative painting performance at Charlestown Arts Centre, September 22nd 2017 (Culture Night) by Irish visual artist Shane Finan.
The artwork deals with rural depopulation, focussing on the nearby landscape of Charlestown. It takes influence from theory on place and community, and from the book 'No One Shouted Stop!' by local journalist John Healy. The 'Black Stump' is the Australian name for an imaginary point beyond which the country is considered remote or uncivilised.
This is the first artwork in the series 'Solastalgia' started in 2017. 'Solastalgia' features artworks that deal with a sense of loss of place identity due to environmental change.
