Country towns that are economically reliant on agriculture are vulnerable to shocks from drought and flooding. But towns that have other industries, such as mining and tourism, are generally more resilient.

Which is part of the idea behind Country Heartline, a tourism initiative driven by the Coonamble Shire Council, Bogan Shire Council and Warren Shire Council, with support from drought resilience funding.

Country Heartline encourages people to visit this part of the world, which, as they say, is "more than a road trip, and greater than a destination – it’s an invitation to slow down and discover the rhythm of country life."

The invitation is also extended to people based in these shires to start their own agri-tourism venture, taking advantage of recent changes to support new businesses

Buy Local Campaign 2025 – Making a Measurable Impact

The Coonamble Chamber of Commerce is pleased to highlight the strong economic results of the Buy Local Campaign for 2025.

On Monday morning, Paul Wheelhouse kindly counted the envelopes while emptying the concrete truck after the draw. A total of 8,066 envelopes were recorded, representing at least $1.21 million spent locally between 1 October and 13 December across the 61 participating businesses.

These figures demonstrate the significant economic impact of supporting local businesses. Every local purchase helps sustain jobs, strengthen businesses, and contribute to the long-term prosperity of the Coonamble, Gulargambone and Quambone communities.

The Chamber thanks all residents and visitors who continue to support local businesses and encourages the community to maintain this momentum into 2026. Merry Christmas!
