Our Shire covers an area of 4,832 square kilometres including the Coolah, Dunedoo, Mendooran, Merrygoen and Weetaliba districts. From the upper reaches of our crystal clear waterways in the mountainous Coolah Tops area, to the more gentle hills in the west, the majority of the soils are fertile and highly productive. Mixed farming is predominate, covering all winter cereal crops and any suitable for summer growth, due to a varied average rainfall of 450 to 650mm.
Several wayside inns existed in the Coolah Shire in the early days of the Colony. These inns were certainly needed for those travelling long distances between towns. The most well known was the Black Stump Wine Saloon situated on the Gunnedah Road, about 10kms north of Coolah. It was the staging post for north western NSW, important in its position at the junction of the coach roads Gunnedah - Coolah, Coolah - Coonabarabran and all points west. The position of the inn is clearly marked on old NSW Lands Department maps. Like many a pub before and since, it became the hub from which men dated their journeys and gauged their distances. The saloon was named after the nearby Black Stump run and Black Stump Creek. It was from these names that the saying 'Beyond the Black Stump' was derived. Thus our 'Gateway to the Outback' opened.
The townsite of Coolah was first occupied in the 1840s. By 1848 there was a slab blacksmith's and a slab hotel. Local sandstone was used to construct more substantial buildings in the 1870s.
