Gulargambone is an Aboriginal word meaning “watering hole for many galahs”. Gulargambone is primarily an agricultural area, with wheat, sheep, cattle and sawmilling as it’s main enterprises. We have a wonderful mix of occupations and backgrounds, giving a truly special character and diverse range of interests. It is reassuring to know your neighbours, and to be greeted by name while you shop.

Our continuing successes are a direct result of the cohesion and strong support we enjoy. As a community, we appreciate our natural environment and uncomplicated lifestyle while focusing on a strong and meaningful future.

During the last few years, Gulargambone, like many country towns, has witnessed a downturn in the rural economy with banks closing and businesses leaving town. In 2000, when it looked as though the local Post Office would also close, our community decided to be pro-active and formed GRTC Inc (Gulargambone Rural Transaction Centre Incorporated).

As a result, the first community-owned Post Office (Rural Transaction Centre) was born and now offers Giropost, Centrelink, Medicare, public Internet access as well as a branch of the Reliance Credit Union, and is diligently working to return essential services to the community.Some of Gulargambone’s other recent achievements include a new multi-purpose health service, attractive murals depicting Gulargambone’s history in shop windows, new signage on the highway, re-bitumening the main street, planting new trees, and the introduction of recycling.
