VILLAGES Gulargambone Part 1
Season 3, Episode 4, Nov 18, 12:47 AM
In this Episode we hear interviews from people in Gulargambone NSW, Wailwan and Gamilaroi Country. This episode features stories, memories and reflections about Gular- as it is known by the locals.
Gulargambone is a charming little town on the Castlereagh River, halfway between Gilgandra and Coonamble. Surrounded by farms and wide-open spaces, it's a peaceful place where people look out for each other.
The town has a reputation for being a bit different, colourful,artistic and creative, the first in Australia to have a community-owned post office, and also run a fantastic little community cafe called 2828. With a refurbished pub & hotel it's a great spot to grab a coffee or lemonade, a bite to eat, and then check out some stunning street art and murals. Gular’s public art includes well-known artists Kasper, Suki, Zac Craig, Viki Murray, John Murray, Manda Lane, Michael Bourke, Leo Uribe, Brian Campbell and local Gamileroi man Frank Wright to name a few.
If you're ever driving through the area, be sure to stop by. You won't regret it!

Episode Features:
We chatted with Teresa and Sonia who own and run the Gular Pub & Hotel. Get ready for Theresa’s reflections as she’s come back to Gular and reconnected with her community. They talk candidly about the ‘segregation wall’ in the pub and its removal and openly share unique experiences and insights.
We had Margaret Hourn join us. She talks about her early childhood memories and things that she got up to as a youngster - stick picking, chasing rabbits and milking cows. Margaret tells us about being a telephonist which was a very popular and important job for young women back in the day.
Dr Mary Anne Jebb brings us historical insights to the town and local area including the important First Nations history and ANZACs.
Charlie and friends tell us about the early days where people sat and told many yarns, young years and school. Growing up around the town, the group all talk about living on the mission with families, cooking, and life in the 50’ & 60’s.
Diane Collins with a fascinating story to share about her debutante. A debutante ball is a fancy party where young women are introduced to society for the first time. The girls usually learn how to behave politely and have good manners before the ball. Daine shares her memories about that time, the music and the dancing of the era.
